Nine Expensive Funerals

His friend was killed. Who''s next?

Tom O''Banion loves his hometown of Muskegon, Michigan. He has his dream job as the choral director at Muskegon High School. He has a beautiful teacher friend, Maria, that he''s hoping he''ll marry. One of his best friends, Fred, is the mayor and they are in sync about how to make Muskegon even better than it is.

Dark forces threaten to shake Tom''s good life. The "Group of Nine" don''t like the mayor''s plans - they want to keep running the town the way they always have, and they''re willing to kill to keep the mayor in line. 

To find the killer, Tom puts his own and Maria''s life in danger. He just can''t let them get away with it. He joins forces with the police to help make certain the city and its good people survive this threat and justice is served.
