Download As PDF : Six A Dax McGowan Mystery eBook Jack Harney 
One of Dax McGowan's closest friends, Lieutenant Janet Meehan of the Special Victims Unit seeks his help in capturing a serial killer who is murdering nuns in one of the poorest areas of the Bronx, but only those nuns who still wear the old-fashioned veiled habits. While his tyrannical boss, Police Commissioner, Jeremiah Gallagher, has commanded him to drop everything to investigate a personal matter, Dax owes Janet big for all the work she did last year helping him track down the pedophile priest that caused his daughter, Grace, to commit suicide. He won't refuse her request. This new serial killer presents a profile that fits more than one possible suspect, and unfortunately exposes Dax's single most dominant weakness as a detective. How he eventually navigates the maze this case presents leads to an ending many readers have said prevented them from putting the book down, even until the wee hours of the morning.
Six A Dax McGowan Mystery eBook Jack Harney
I remember when a beautiful red-headed cousin of mine decided to become a nun. All I could think about was that she would have to cut her hair--I was so young, I didn't even know what it meant to enter a convent, to dedicate your life to God and live in a cloistered fashion... At that time, one of my preacher relatives starting bringing pamphlets to my Mother about nuns having sex...and babies...by priests... Even then I didn't like the implication, although I later learned that sexual abuse can be found anywhere...The Habit worn by nuns is a main feature in Six... Yes, we find sexual sin within the church...in this case, the Catholic Church. Sex was meant to be so beautiful, yet it has become so corrupted in so many ways. That's why I immediately loved Dax McGowan as my new hero...
Murder is never easy to learn about. But it exists! All we have to do is watch the daily news, which I seldom do because of that reason. But...in a book, the criminal rarely escapes, because there are characters like Dax McGowan, as the man in the white hat...or in this case, a metaphorical cap and pipe representing Sherlock...
Dax was an avid Sherlock fan when young and quickly learned his trade in observation and data collection from the master himself. Today, when nobody is around he works on his cases in a pretend dialog between he and Watson which is both fun to read, because he mimics Watson so well; but we also learn about the details he has observed and watch as he merges them together into cogent moves to advance the case...
Because he has once again been called to help with murders being handled by the special victims unit...a series of murders of nuns--but only those who wear the older, traditional habits...
Actually, Dax's real and only assignment had been given to him: to investigate the reasons why Officer Teresa Gallagher was experiencing periodic bouts of anxiety while even on the job. She had already been under the care of the police psychologist, who greatly resented and resisted when the entire case was handed over to Dax...by the Commissioner...
Amazingly he was able to do some research, conduct interviews, and had begun to form a hypothesis before very long. Fortunately, Dax has a partner that works well in support of Dax's independent thinking and is still in awe as he comes up with deductions that move the case forward until completion.
So while he was supposedly only working on that case, he still had time to help his friend, Special Victims Unit Detective,Janet Meehan, when she called. First, she had expressed sympathy since it was the anniversary of his daughter's death, and then went on to spit out how bad her latest case was.
Dax is not adverse to a "little streamlining" of orders...He knew his boss would have his back, but the Commissioner refused to consider that he could possibly do anything else beyond the case he assigned. So he would have to hedge his way through, but there was no way he could refuse to help Janet when the work of this serial killer was so methodical and specific, as well as savagely performed, that Janet knew she needed the mind of the super sleuth Dax had become. The murders were obviously the work of a psychologically disturbed mind, yet the selection of only those nuns who were old-fashioned habits tended to form a ritualist pattern that may have been brought about by early childhood sex abuse.
This was an unsolvable mystery for me...one so surprising and shocking that it bothered me to consider the depravity that had begun what was now happening...to innocent women who had devoted their lives to helping other people.,,
We all know that fiction is fiction...this is fiction... Yet we know that their is brutality and death on the streets of every city...anywhere...This is also our reality. For me, the dramatization of such events in fiction helps me absorb what is happening in today's world much more than the streaming news that we've learned to turn away from. We cannot turn and continue to accept this reality...
Jack Harney gives us, first, a hero that can figure out what has happened and then go after that criminal. He, too, may be surprised with the outcome of such events, he steadily pulls the pieces together and arrives at action... That moves us to also act as we are able to in putting an end to violence in the world. Can we? Harney gives us good thoughts and a hero to act on our behalf... That's why I'm recommending the book!
May we find more real-life heroes to face those who do harm to the innocent...
Because our children have no reason to turn to violence, or do they?
I enjoy reading Jack Harney. His style of writing is simple and direct...we know exactly where the case is going at all times and it is a mystery not for the readers so much as it is entertainment for our enjoyment, just as we've all enjoyed the real Sherlock Holmes in action. It is the intricacy of the problem, the minute details that are picked up by Dax that we have ourselves overlooked that satisfied us...or when we pick up the clues, we can feel we have a little of Sherlock's skills to add to the mix. It's an enjoyable read with a devastating topic. But Harney treats even the graphic information with the eye of a forensic specialist who is there only to gather needed info to capture the criminal.
I do warn that the actual case is quite upsetting and I consider this only an adult novel...one that is highly recommended for fans of forensics, special victims stories, and events that are taken out of daily newspapers at times...

Six A Dax McGowan Mystery eBook Jack Harney Reviews
For fans of Sherlock Holmes and all things sleuth, this book will be very entertaining. It starts right in with on the action and keeps you riveted through the well-crafted twists and turns. Although I don’t know Harney’s bio, he seems to be somewhat of an expert in Holmes, making Dax the modern-day version with all the applicable skills plus some extra personality quirks. The story is also loosely based on the Catholic Church sex scandals making it very relevant. I’m looking forward to going back to read the first book in the series!
I don't have much time for reading books, so I do so as I lay in bed for the night. I found myself going to bed early just so I could read 'Six.' There were twists I wasn't expecting. When I first read that Dax was assigned to figure out the mental issues of another, I wondered just how he was going to do this. No doctor was able to. Well, he does and then some. Have a read for yourself so you can see what I mean.
Many years ago, I quit trying to guess 'who done it,' but I can't help but have a suspect in mind. I was wrong with this one. I was impressed with the way the main character, Dax, was able to provide proof of a murder that happened several years before. It seemed impossible to me. I very much enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who likes the mystery genre. I'm looking forward to the next Dax McGowan mystery.
Jack Harney's first book in the series "The Millstone Prophecy" grabbed my attention from the beginning and never let me go until the suspenseful finish. I sat here for a couple of moments thinking that a book couldn't get much better than this; and then I read "Six." Once again Harney grabbed me by the wrist and wouldn't let me put this book down until I finally discovered who really dunit because every time I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong yet again. I am a huge fan of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware novels but Jack Harney is every bit as good. I hope he's busy writing the third Dax McGowan because I can hardly wait.
WTF happen 18 years ago. And it's trail by officer Dax in Holmes fashion will bring you to OMG.
This book will keep you interested like Mr S. Holmes book kept you interested in his deductions.
WOW! This is a must read, a little upsetting in parts but well worth the amazing outcome and how Officer Dax came to put them all together.
I am a 83 year retired man who is and avid reader. I live on S.S. And need to watch my spending but I sure will try to get all the authors books
Thanks Jack

I read the first Dax McGowen book out of curiosity. I read this, the second, because I really liked the first. Imagine my surprise, then, to discover that Harney had outdone himself, turning out a story even more compelling and intriguing than the first. Once again, a well-crafted plot awaits the reader, as McGowan finds himself in the midst of a twisting, turning yarn of serial-killing mayhem. Be assured, McGowan is more than equal to the task, in no small part due to his dual-sided conversations with himself as both Holmes and Watson. Bottom line? "Six" is a tale worth telling well told. It's also a darn good read. All in all, a nice job on Harney's part this second time around. It certainly whets one's appetite for a third!
I read and enjoyed Jack's book. Have come to like Dax and appreciate his development of the story from the very beginning. The interplay with Sherlock Holmes and Watson was interesting and helped to further develop McGowan. I was a little disappointed that his investigation was laid out at the end without much actual coverage in the story itself; I like the case development process in a little more detail, but when it was all over, I felt like he'd done a thorough job coming to his conclusions. Just would have liked more detail in the story. All that said, Jack has written a fun book that is easy to follow, and kept me coming back for more. Good job, Jack!
