Andrew Locke was only seven when he saw his father taken from home by gunmen, never to be seen again.
There were no answers as to why it happened.
Twenty years later, Andrew has a happy life – a wife and son.
The terrible past has lost its grip.
Until one day…it comes back.
Clues from a surprising source offer an explanation.
Determined, Andrew undertakes a deadly hunt alone against a mysterious and powerful enemy.
And everything’s at stake.
More than he knows.
The Father’s Son is a substantially reworked and improved version of his original novel, Deadly Conviction, and replaces it entirely. In spite of its positive reviews, he chose to remove Deadly Conviction from the marketplace and all sales channels in 2017.

What an excellent read – I loved it from start to finish. The plot is well-constructed…the characters kept to a minimum and well-created with enough back story to make them credible. Very well written. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Plenty of Mystery Here. Lots of action. Lots of mystery. Tons of logical reasoning to pull you along the twisted path.
McPhie does a masterful job of building suspense…Intelligent characterizations elevate the story, as does the twisty plot…keeps readers guessing until the end… An entertaining, well-written, and smart crime tale: An excellent read.

‘It’s not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion.’
So begins this tale.
Chester has a serious problem.
Tender-hearted and utterly devoted to his beautiful wife, he’s convinced she will soon leave him in search of another and take their young daughter.
It’s a prospect he can’t live with. Desperation overcomes him.
But how far will he go? Well, a whole lot farther than you think, and you have a good imagination.
A tidy plan. A very unusual murder.
But…all is not as it seems.
And then the unpredictable happens.
Sometimes funny. Sometimes chilling.
Always intriguing.
