An American Tragedy

A nation in panic. A teacher accused. O'Keefe faces his toughest case yet.

The summer of 1988 is ablaze-not just with heat but with hysteria. As Satanic Panic sweeps the nation, innocent lives hang in the balance.

Private detective Peter O'Keefe never expected to be drawn into the storm, but when his daughter's beloved teacher "Miss Ginny" is accused of unspeakable crimes, he can't turn away.

The case reeks of mass hysteria and hidden agendas, but standing against the tide could cost O'Keefe everything. As he fights to unravel the truth, he's forced to go toe-to-toe with shadowy child protection figures more interested in securing convictions than justice.

With lives shattered and the weight of a nation's paranoia pressing down, O'Keefe must risk it all to expose the truth before it's too late. In a world consumed by fear, will justice prevail-or will the innocent be lost forever?

A gripping crime thriller steeped in real-world hysteria, An American Tragedy is a heart-stopping tale of courage, deception, and the high price of seeking the truth.

In essence, Dan Flanigan's novel is a masterclass in suspense and social commentary, a work that holds up a mirror to the darkest recesses of the American soul. "An American Tragedy" is not just a story about a town caught in the throes of hysteria; it is a cautionary tale about the human capacity for destruction when led astray by fear. It is a thought-provoking read that cements Flanigan's status as a storyteller capable of crafting narratives that resonate long after the final page is turned.

St. Louis Literary Review

It's absolutely perfect how the title plays out in connecting in this book. An American Tragedy is exactly what this story is from beginning to end. O'Keefe is a dynamic main character, and once again author Flanigan depicts how O'Keefe struggles with the load that he is forced to carry.
