A Martyr Among Us
Oneonta, New York, is the kind of town that remembers everything and forgives nothing. When six despised locals are found dead-staged with ritualistic precision-the press dubs them The Martyr Murders. The victims share one thing in common: every one of them got away with something unforgivable.
Tommy Olsen knows the town. He drank his way through it once, back when he believed trouble was something you outgrew. Now he's back-older, meaner, and working off the books as a private investigator with a knack for spotting patterns and a talent for wrecking his own life.
Hired by the wealthy, enigmatic Mia Martin to clear her late husband's name, Tommy is pulled into a case that has less to do with justice than vengeance. Corrupt cops, buried scandals, trailer-park secrets, and high-society rot surface as the body count grows. Everyone had a reason to hate the victims. Everyone has something to hide.
Haunted by his own failures and stalked by a presence that never seems far behind, Tommy walks a narrowing line between solving the case and becoming part of it. In Oneonta, redemption is rare, guilt is permanent, and martyrs aren't born-they're chosen.
Hard-boiled, atmospheric, and morally ruthless, A Martyr Among Us is a noir thriller about justice without mercy, secrets that fester in the cold, and the cost of knowing the truth in a town that would rather you disappear.
