A Pappa Legacy Novel: Book 1
Publication Date: March 25, 2025
Curran’s enemies thought he was dead.
They were wrong.
He thought his past was left on the Voula Beach Road.
He was wrong.
Now, that nightmare is drawing his enemies out.
The halls of power are being targeted—but by who?
Is the secret of the Voula Beach Road behind the chaos?
Curran knows the answer.
It’s all in The Whisper Legacy . . .
Marlowe “Lowe” Curran was once a freelance intelligence operative swashbuckling around the world—until Greece—until the Voula Beach Road. There, he lost everything and nearly his life. Now, he’s a luckless, aging PI living on guilt and nightmares—barely paying his rent if not for Tommy Astor, a well-connected Washington powerbroker. Curran becomes a suspect in the murder of a philandering husband. He has an alibi—but that will get him arrested. Is committing crimes trying to resolve other crimes still a crime? For Curran it is, especially after he’s a suspect in two murders. Chasing the real killer, Curran is haunted by his demons from the Voula Beach Road, and something called Whisper. On his trail is an angry, vengeful US Deputy Marshal, gun-happy assassins, and a shadowy figure thwarting Curran’s every success. For each step forward, there’s another threat, another roadblock, another piece of evidence stacking up against him. Whisper is at the center of his nightmares—whatever Whisper is. Is Whisper why Charlie Cantrell had to die? Why bodies are dropping across Washington? Why the President’s short list for running mates is getting shorter? Faced with old foes and aided by his last surviving Voula Beach friend, Curran must stay ahead of the assassins, rescue a kidnapped little girl, and find the deadly secrets hidden within The Whisper Legacy.
Take a down-and-out private investigator haunted by the past, and you’ve got Marlowe “Lowe” Curran.
He serves as the protagonist in The Whisper Legacy by Tj O’Connor. The story unfolds with a first-person narrative that easily gives readers perspective into Lowe’s character. Not only does he have an impressive sense of humor, but he has a tendency to straddle the line between right and wrong.
That becomes clear as he gets embroiled in trying to clear his name as a suspect in not one but two murders. Meanwhile, there is a dual storyline featuring some political heavy hitters that eventually pulls Lowe in. While he is trying to clear his name, the past comes crashing back and threatens to consume him.
Political intrigue and cyberattacks underpin the drama of the story. To find answers, Lowe will have to uncover the deadly secrets that connect past and present.
The Whisper Legacy offers a fast-paced political thriller featuring a main character seeking redemption.
