Father's Day
Keith Gilman’s primary character in Father’s Day is Louis Klein, PI, who “suspected that his father stayed awake because his dreams were worse than his waking memories.” That was Klein’s experience too. They had both been Philadelphia cops. His father was killed in the line of duty. His mother was murdered. His best friend, also a cop, supposedly committed suicide. Klein had pushed the limits of his badge a little too hard. He knows the politics of the police force as well as he knows the bars on every street corner. Louis Klein was likened to a rat. They don’t change, they’re not liked and “their best quality is loyalty, especially totheir family.”
Father’s Day is written with hard-core believability. It has drama, tension and poignancy. Keith Gilman is also a cop. And he’s an author you’ll look forward to reading again.
