New Crime Thriller Chasing Evil Explores the Haunting Cost of Justice Across Generations
The novel begins in 1995. In Noblesville, Indiana, a terrible home invasion shatters the lives of two families. Conrad Cavanaugh, a local contractor, becomes the unlikely survivor of a violent encounter that sends ripples far beyond his normally quiet community. Years later, his son Conor Cavanaugh, now a decorated Indiana State Police captain and Afghanistan war hero, is called to head a new Cold Case Task Force. What starts as a political ploy by the governor quickly becomes very personal when Conor discovers one of the unsolved cases on his desk involves the crime that forever changed his family.
With taut action and strong, authentic dialogue, Oakes pulls readers into a web of corruption, hidden motives, and the long shadows cast by evil left unpunished. As Conor juggles duty, politics, and the ghosts of his past, Chasing Evil becomes more than a mystery; it's a rich journey of loyalty, loss, and redemption.
Why This Book?
In a nutshell, Oakes wrote Chasing Evil to explore how the impact of a single violent act ripples out across generations to shape lives long after the crime itself is committed. He wanted to look beyond the investigation to the cost of justice: on families, on faith, and on those who carry the scars of what they've seen.
Why Is It the Best Pick To Add In The 'To Be Read':
Chasing Evil is suspenseful yet emotive; a true, character-driven thriller that will leave readers spellbound. It has the realism of crime fiction and the heart of a family drama-mixing authenticity with moral and deep emotional complexities, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, or C.J. Box. Oakes weaves authentic detail, moral complexity, and deep emotion into a story that will linger in readers' minds long after the final page.
