(PRLeap.com) "A Good Word," a new book by John Feliz, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.A gripping noir mystery that explores the high cost of loyalty and the tangled web of secrets hidden beneath the New York City skyline.
The story follows Frank Mateo, a seasoned Manhattan private investigator who finds himself haunted by a final request from Dominguez, a street informant he's leaned on for a decade. When Dominguez is murdered on the cold pavement of Halloween night, Mateo is consumed by a crushing sense of responsibility. What began as a simple favor quickly spirals into a hunt for a killer.
The mystery deepens with the sudden reappearance of Number 49, a masterpiece by the artist Rafique. Stolen years ago from a billionaire's estate, the painting's return sets off a chain of questions that Mateo must answer: How does a high-stakes art heist connect to a low-level informant? And what was the true price of the favor Mateo granted?
