Book #1 – The Dim Light of Dawn
THIRTY YEARS AGO, THE REMAINS OF A YOUNG CHILD WERE FOUND IN A CAVE.
The child was never claimed. There were no witnesses. There were no leads. The case went cold.
Gil Novak decides to retire and concentrate on improving his health. He has severe insomnia that is fueled by recurring nightmares. Hypnotherapy steers him toward seeking out what traumatized him as a teenager on a mountain in Massachusetts.
Detective Karen Tindall reactivates the cold case because she finally has a lead. Gil saw the child and his family at that cave fifty years ago. The case heats up as Gil is attacked and nearly killed. Seemingly random murders and arsons keep cropping up.
In addition to the thrilling pursuit of a complex mystery, this book is the compelling story of children who are trying to survive an unimaginable family situation. It also involves Gil coming to terms with the death of his wife, and his bumbling transition to the retirement phase of his life.
Book #2 – Which Way to Run
Massachusetts State Police Agent Lili D’Amico and retired engineer Gil Novak were enjoying the last couple of weeks of their first winter together in Florida. With a little mahjong and a little fishing, they were having fun, making new friends, and getting used to living with each other. Responding to a commotion, Lili finds her neighbor Martha being strangled and near death. Lili confronts the attacker and ends up having to dispatch him. Lili accompanies frail Martha to her home in New Hampshire, where another assassination attempt occurs.
While Lili continues her involvement in Martha’s case, Gil is asked to consult on a separate case about recently dug tunnels that have mysteriously appeared in his hometown of Greenfield, Massachusetts. A retired robotics engineer, Gil is recruited to build and operate a robot to inspect the tunnels for clues to their origin.
In this thriller, Gil and Lili end up working together on both cases, as more people are pursued by unknown pursuers with obscure motives. There is a lot going on in this book, with aspects tying to infamous events in Native American and global history. This is Hy Shaw’s second book in the Gil Novak and Lili D’Amico series.
