The O'Hare Megillah

About the Book

Jerre Morrissey’s international murder/adventure story, “The O’Hare Megillah,” features Berndt Oliver, Swiss inspector of police, pursuing the killer of an international financier. Intertwining the sibling rivalry of a Boston Catholic family’s daughters and an ingenious crime, the tale spins through Europe, the Middle East and the United States.

Colorful characters from the polished realms of international finance, the drug underworld, the legal and illegal arms scene, and small-town U.S.A., interact throughout this yarn which attests to the innate goodness of most of humankind.

The story is pure fiction.
