Midnight Mass — The Crime by Andrew Delaphaine, Amazon Kindle format

It's Christmas Eve in New York and some men in hooded monks' robes and plastic masks of the face of Jesus Christ have just pulled off a spectacular robbery of the historic church downtown where George Washington worshipped, getting away with tens of millions of dollars in jewelry and cash and also killing fifteen of the congregation.

The first detective on the scene, quite by accident, is Lieutenant Amos Freeman, on his way home to Brooklyn after buying presents for the wife he no longer loves, and after stopping by his favorite haunt, Big Dot's Jungle Bar, for a few drinks (or as Big Dot often says, "a few too many").

With a half bottle of George Dickel under his belt, Freeman stumbles onto the scene at Broadway and Wall, but always a pro, she snaps into high gear, quickly assuming command of a chaotic situation, and in the process, making a big impression on a furious Mayor Frederick Lindstadt, who had been mocked and humiliated by the robbers for being not only short and bald, but helpless while among the well-heeled social elite in the Trinity congregation.

When the TV crews bear down and police brass arrive to take charge, Amos Freeman, not a big fan of police department politics, melts into the background.

Vivacious actress Sybil Ingram looks forward to a life of security when she leaves the theater in 1873 to marry a wealthy American. But when he dies suddenly on their wedding night, she finds herself a penniless widow. Her only legacy is Brooke House, a Gothic revival manor in the Hudson River Valley. However, the eerie mansion comes with two tenants. One is a hostile ghost. The second, and far worse, is former violinist Roderick Brooke — the most insolent, dangerous, maddeningly gorgeous man Sybil has ever met.

As she and Roderick engage in a battle of wills — and wits — she finds herself increasingly drawn to him despite her growing suspicion of a connection between him and the spirit that haunts Brooke House. But soon a greater threat arises: the mysterious queen of local society, Mrs. Lavinia Dove. For reasons that Sybil can't imagine, Mrs. Dove is determined to have Brooke House and Roderick for herself … if necessary, by deadly means.

New York. Jack Sullivan is called to a burglary, where he finds an old friend, Malta, hiding with a broken arm. His attackers called themselves the Meat Hooks — and their home base, a virtual fortress in New York's sex-and-drugs Lower East Side depths, was called the Meat Locker. Here young girls and boys were held captive to satisfy the unholy lusts of the rich, the powerful and the famous, drugged with heroin, protected by corrupt police, and controlled by a man with roots in Hitler's Third Reich. This was the kind of enemy that Jack Sullivan, The Specialist, would wipe out for nothing. So he jumped at the chance to wage a one-man war, a war he was determined to win no matter how many different ways he had to kill …

On his journey, he meets Bonnie, a beautiful and intelligent woman who can match his own mysterious ways of living, disappearing in a heartbeat and leaving him wanting more. Worse, when the Meat Hooks realise he's after them, they make their own plans to take him out …

Will Sullivan be able to track down their location in time? Can he avoid being captured and killed by some of New York's most dangerous criminals? And will he ever see Bonnie again?
