| Drawing
Dead: Brian Patrick McKinley
The average mobster dies
as they live. Faolan O'Connor, however, finds new life
after he dies. Faolan O'Connor spent his life killing
for men like Legs Diamond and Lucky Luciano, and now it
s his turn to face the music. But when vampire Darcy
Killian offers him immortality, Faolan enters a world of
violence, wealth, and power beyond anything he s ever
imagined. Driven by ambition and guilt, Faolan fights
his way up the ranks in a battle to justify his sins
with success. He's learned the hard way that
relationships are vulnerabilities and friends are just
enemies in disguise, but he also knows that he can't
conquer a city alone. Aided by an emotionally-crippled
genius and a warm-hearted call girl, Faolan builds a
loyal crew with which to challenge the tyrannical
Killian's rule. However, will this re-awakened humanity
prove a fatal flaw or his ace in the hole? With his life
and the future of the city he loves at stake, can Faolan
play his cards right or is he drawing dead?

diagnosis - accidentally discovers the existence of lost
early 20th century Ontario filmmaker Mrs. A. Macalla
