In 1968 on the South Side of Chicago, as the city braces for the Democratic National Convention and the police fight corruption, the death of a local priest turns a young teen's summer upside down. Gary looks forward to this last summer before starting high school. No more nuns watching his every step. No more daily Mass. And most of all, no more Father Kozar. Little did he know. He should have been riding bikes, playing baseball, or just hanging around the neighborhood with his friends. If only he hadn't forgotten to pick up his diploma, he wouldn't have been near the church when they learned Father Kozar died. If only he hadn't ventured to that forbidden place with his friend Callaghan. If only the police would leave him alone. Gary, with the help of his friends, must uncover the truth behind the pastor's death before the police close in on him and Callaghan. Along the way, Gary learns more than he could have expected, as the lives of new friends and acquaintances begin to unravel around him. "Leave plenty of time when you open this book, because it's impossible to stop once you start. PRIVATE CONFESSIONS is a mesmerizing slice of Chicago in 1968, the year they murdered Bobby Kennedy, the year a mysterious Catholic priest died in his parish on the city's South Side, and the year that life slammed full-body and full-force into the hero of the book, a newly minted Catholic grade school graduate. If you like murder mysteries, the Sixties, the mystique of the Catholic Church, or plain fantastic writing, don't miss the best book yet from rising author star Gunter Kaesdorf " -Bestselling author Shane Gericke, THE FURY "Robert Kennedy's assassination, an eighth-grade graduation, and a murder on Chicago's South Side provide the backdrop of this thrilling mystery.

Enjoy the ride " -Lou Macaluso, author of the Tony Morelli mystery series and The Greatest Escape
