A clever mix of A Christmas Carol<\/em> and a stylish modern thriller, it’s a good read for lovers of either genre.

Geoff Loftus does so admirably in his fast-paced, well written and engrossing new novel about a man given a second chance from a wholly unexpected source: his dead wife, whose murder he holds himself responsible for. Let this one-of-a-kind story teach you something about love, forgiveness and even faith.”<\/strong><\/p>\n – James Martin, SJ, bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything<\/em>, \u00a0A Jesuit Off-Broadway\u00a0<\/em>and The Abbey<\/em>.<\/p>\n Jack Tyrrell was a burn out. A former Green Beret and U.S. Marshal, he’s become a drunken loser who, once upon a time, accepted a bribe and was shot by the people who bribed him. Tyrrell survived the shooting. His wife, Maggie, did not.<\/p>\n Five years after her death, Maggie appears to him as a ghost and offers him a chance to make things right. She introduces Tyrrell to Harry, who may literally be heaven-sent. Tyrrell, with Harry working as his case manager, sets out to help a veteran who’s suffering from PTSD and has assassinated a pair of Wall Street CEOs.<\/p>\n Action, murdered Wall Street titans, the Russian mafia, and a beautiful woman mix with questions regarding free will and what constitutes moral behavior to give this thriller a spiritual edge.<\/p>\n Tyrrell’s story is a mix of Charles Dickens, Philip K. Dick and thriller<br \/> told by a sad, yet funny narrator \u2014 it’s entertaining and spiritually engaging.<\/p>\n THE REVIEWS ARE IN (from AMAZON):<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 3 out of 5 stars \u2014 <\/strong>Fast paced and exciting Fast paced and tense. Loftus’s knowledge of New York City and how to transit the town is impressive.<\/p>\n A touch of Dickens and his ‘heavenly guide’ added some light to an otherwise tough story about love, guilt and forgiveness.<\/p>\n Is this the beginning of a series? I will look for the next Jack Tyrell story!<\/p>\n 5 out of 5 stars \u2014\u00a0Murderous Spirit is a great read I read a lot. I mean, really I read a lot. There are three hundred books on my Kindle and the list is growing. This book just came out by Geoff Loftus, the novel is called Murderous Spirit<\/em>, and I just now finished reading it. He hit a home run with this book! It is very interesting and seriously entertaining. I don’t think I have ever recommended a book on the internet before, but I am now. This book is a really great read. I enjoyed it very much and know you will too.<\/p>\n In addition to writing a good action mystery, there is a spiritual element that is fascinating.

Before Tyrrell can get a cappuccino, he’s plunged into the world of art, money laundering, sex trafficking, and weapons dealing. The story twists and turns from Greenwich Village in New York City to Upper Grosvenor Street in London, leading to a confrontation with a homicidal, narcissistic billionaire.
\u201cHad Philip K. Dick channeled Charles Dickens, Jack Tyrrell is the character he would have created. A clever mix of A Christmas Carol<\/i> and a stylish modern thriller, action-packed yet soulful, traditional yet highly original.\u201d Theodore George, author of, The Deadly Homecoming<\/i> and Murders on the Square<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.geoffloftus.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Casual-Slaughters-Snowy-Trees-800w.png\")
Tolstoy wrote that all happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. But what Jack Tyrrell, former Green Beret and Deputy U.S. Marshal, discovers is that unhappy families can be dangerous in their own ways. Violence, greed, gambling, sex, and broken romances combine in a lethal mix as Tyrrell goes undercover with his fianc\u00e9e, Kim Gannon, to save three different families from their own demons. And do their best to stop a serial killer.
The non-stop action flows through Manhattan north to the scenic Hudson Valley. All the while, Tyrrell contemplates his future as a \u201crighter of wrongs,\u201d giving this latest Tyrrell thriller its spiritual dimension.
\u201cAnother worthy Tyrrell thriller. It\u2019s fascinating to watch Jack Tyrrell\u2019s character develop in the series as he grows into an increasingly 3-dimensional human being struggling to balance his \u201ccalling\u201d \u2014 as a 21st Century tech-savvy, government-trained Lone Ranger righting wrongs \u2014 with his desire to live a normal life. Add a Dickensian twist and you have a uniquely Geoff Loftus read.\u201d<\/b>
– Theodore George, author of The Deadly Homecoming<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Fracture](\"https:\/\/www.geoffloftus.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Fracture-COVER-250X400.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
Now Tyrrell’s fighting his way through illegal drug labs, corrupt cops, and bank robberies in a race to stop a terrorist disaster. The swift action moves throughout New York and its suburbs, as Tyrrell continues to examine his calling as a \u201crighter of wrongs,\u201d giving this latest Tyrrell thriller its spiritual dimension.
“The action, as always in a Tyrrell novel, is terrific: you feel as if you are in the middle of the fights and chases. And Tyrrell continues to evolve, accepting his ‘calling’ as a righter of wrongs and achieving a fulfillment that he never dreamed of.”<\/b>

Jack Tyrrell jumps in to rescue a damsel in distress. The distress: a large, drunk lawyer who doesn\u2019t like it when women reject him. The damsel? None other than Tyrrell\u2019s first love, twenty-four years after they parted. The early love becomes Tyrrell\u2019s latest client, and the two of them uncover a violent international money laundering scheme while they explore their renewed feelings for each other.
Unfortunately for Tyrrell, another person from his past appears to haunt him: Daryl Hawkins. The man who could be Tyrrell’s evil twin. Former military, CIA spook, and now a spy for hire. A man with every bit as much deadly training and dangerous experience as Tyrrell.
Action stretching from New York to London and Tyrrell’s encore relationship with his first love are combined with questions of moral responsibility to add a spiritual dimension to this latest Tyrrell novel.
“The action sequences are terrific: you can feel the punches and smell the gunpowder. And Tyrrell is growing as a person as the series grows. He\u2019s coming to grips with having a ‘calling’ he never wanted and achieving a fulfillment that he never felt possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/b>\u2015 Theodore George<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Dangerous](\"http:\/\/www.geoffloftus.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DangerousPurposeCover.png\")
