Description
On the eve of Notre Dame’s biggest football weekend of the year, the past refuses to stay buried.
As Irish fans flood campus for the showdown against Georgia, psychologist and Notre Dame alum Trace Curran is pulled into a nightmare when bodies begin appearing-each murder staged with chilling precision, as if someone is turning the university into a ritual.
Trace uncovers a forgotten link between Notre Dame and General William Tecumseh Sherman-the man who burned Atlanta, whose children attended ND, and who gave the university’s commencement speech just weeks after the South surrendered. Now, with Georgia fans in town and old resentments boiling, the killings feel less like madness…and more like a message.
Trace has one weekend to stop a serial killer before history ignites again-and The Second Burning begins.

About the Author
Schreck, Tom: – Tom Schreck is the author of the Duffy Dombrowski mystery series, which has hit #1 on Amazon in Hard-Boiled Mysteries, Sports Fiction, and Boxing. His work blends crime, boxing, humor, and redemption-often featuring characters who throw a decent right hand but are still trying to figure out life.A graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Tom once served as head of the Notre Dame Karate Club and lived in Alumni Hall, which means he still considers Dillon Hall a rival dorm and reserves the right to boo them on principle. His time at Notre Dame continues to inspire the setting and spirit of many of his stories.Outside of writing, Tom has had a long career in human services and teaching and is also a professional boxing judge, which explains why many of his characters spend time around gyms, rings, and people who solve problems the old-fashioned way.He lives in Albany, New York, with his wife Sue, a rotating cast of dogs and cats, and an ever-growing collection of boxing books, guitars, and Notre Dame memorabilia.If you see him around South Bend on a football weekend, there’s a good chance he’s either researching a mystery…or arguing with someone from Dillon Hall.
