Father’s Day is Keith Gilman’s provocative debut from St. Martin’s Press and Minotaur Books.  It was awarded Best First Novel by the Private Eye Writers of America.

Father’s day is a dark and atmospheric tale of an ex-cop from Philadelphia asked to track down the missing daughter of an old friend.  The investigation takes him deep into his past, into the darkest corners of the city where the ghosts of his most painful memories await his return.

He uncovers truths about the alleged suicide of his friend, a fellow officer with the Philadelphia police department; truths about the accusations that ended both their careers; truths about the woman who had come between them; truths about the tortured life of the girl he’s trying to find and naturally, truths about himself.

Father’s Day is a novel with multiple layers of meaning, taut psychological depth, strong noir elements and stark visual imagery.  It is a terrifying exploration of the emotions behind our deepest fears
