Snow Job

About the Book

A three-day blizzard immobilizes the town of Shamrock in northeastern Georgia and a wealthy business man is found murdered in his hunting cabin. Suspicion falls on the brother of local attorney Shauna O’Fallon Salerno, eight months pregnant, who undertakes the task of vindicating the accused, Joe Culhane. Shauna has the support of her family, often referred to as the “Fighting O’Fallons,” in an effort to free Joe although there is no shortage of other suspects. In the winding course of the investigation we learn more about the rural Irish-American town and its cast of colorful characters.

About the Author

Author of five nonfiction books and numerous articles on military history, Dan Garland makes his first foray into fiction in his first novel, Snow Job, originally intended by the author to become a series of mysteries featuring the colorful O’Fallon clan. Sadly, the author died in October, 2008, but not before completing Snow Job as well as an outline, summary and title for what he had hoped would be the second in the series. Four of his nonfiction books on military history (primarily the Civil War) were published under the pseudonym Sean Michael O’Brien and one under his real name Thomas Garland Rodgers. Mr. Rodgers (Dan Garland) was born from Alabama.
