In this quick-hitting thriller set in Baltimore, during the waning years of the Cold War, Lussi Sim, a Norwegian physician, is the medical director of a newborn intensive care unit.
Lussi had practiced pediatrics near her parents in Oslo until her father suffered a stroke. Growing up, Lussi experienced chronic mental trauma in the self-assigned role of her mother’s bodyguard. Ironically, her father’s stroke removed the physical threat to her mother and enabled Lussi to pursue her long-suppressed goal to train as a newborn intensive care subspecialist in the United States.
An excellent physician, Lussi copes with the stress of treating sick infants by entering the “rescuer” role she adopted to protect her mother. However, her fight v. flight response to threat defaults to the fight mode and she frequently fails to control her anger when negotiating with hospital managers she believes value profit over optimal patient care.
Stumbling upon a deadly medical conspiracy, evolving from a US government-approved financial agreement between the CIA and the Saudi Royal family, Lussi must now use her well-honed fighting instincts to overcome lethal obstacles, rescue victims, and bring the perpetrators to justice. -

"...Flanigan manages to conjure deft, hard-boiled, but literary prose that's reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's best work. A gritty and eloquent crime novel." - Kirkus Reviews 2022 Finalist IAN (Independent Author Network) Book of the Year for Thriller/Suspense 2022 NIEA (National Indie Excellence Award) Winner for Crime Fiction 2023 Eric Hoffer Legacy Fiction Honorable Mention 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award Grand Prize Short List 2023 Best Book Awards Finalist Legacy Fiction 2023 Book Life Fiction Finalist in Mystery/Thriller -
"O'Keefe's character is honestly written as a deeply flawed man with scars and distressing memories that stretch from childhood to action in the military . . . Shocking violence and thrilling, edge-of-your-seat scenes fill many pages of this enjoyable novel . . . An engaging thriller reveals that crime involving mink can be a whole different animal." Kirkus Reviews "Mink Eyes isa must-read for action enthusiasts. Peter is the perfect protagonist for the story. He is jaded. enough to keep his head in the game and open-minded enough to look for clues where no one in their right minds would look. He is a unique and surprisingly charismatic character... Reading this story is a whole sensory experience and that is largely due to the craftsmanship of the author. Dan Flanigan weaves pictures with his words... descriptions are vivid, the imagery is expressive and the dialogues are revealing. An easy read that I will pick up again." 5-Star Reader's Favorite Review "...a wonderful read...Be prepared to clear your day before you start to read because once you do, it is hard to walk away from this book." A.L. "[The author] is a lawyer--a vocation and a chest of knowledge and experience that serves him well in this absorbing book...a subtle and thorough character sculptor..." G.H. "Fast paced, action-packed...vivid imagery..." K.G. "In a category filled with formulaic and predictable characters and plot lines, Mink Eyes was unique and unexpected. It is a love story and somewhat of a 'coming of age' tale too, a serious literary work in an exciting 'thriller' package." B.N. "...please, give us another installment quickly..." R.B.S. -
"The further exhilarating adventures of an unbeatable detective, packed with tantalizing loose ends." -- Kirkus "... sharp, playful dialogue and surprising choices from characters exemplify O'Keefe's series, in which unpredictable people behave [and] react to crime-novel events in a refreshingly realistic way...: On Lonesome Roads is a polished thriller... Great for fans of Matt Goldman and William Kent Krueger." -- Booklife "Peter was such a complicated character who demanded attention instead of sympathy. He was still kicking and screaming, even though he was badly injured. The suspense was alive in this story, and I felt as if it was a constant companion to Peter. The pace was fast, the characters were developed, and the overall feel of the plot was great. You could not guess what would happen next. I have to admit, I, too, had my money on The Outfit, but Dan Flanigan surprised me. There were new shifts in the story when I least expected it and I was amazed when something equally thrilling happened again. I wanted to know who tried to kill Peter, why wasn't the person out in the open, and what would Peter do to get out of this mess. On Lonesome Roads is a great new addition to the series! Entertaining and consuming!"-- Reviewed By Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite "Tightly plotted and meticulously structured, this is a compelling crime thriller that makes excellent use of its 1980s context...It also employs superior character development to recount its tale of desperate detectives, warring gangsters, and obsessive law enforcement in Reagan-era America. Leaning fully into the moral complexity of neo-noir detective archetypes, Flanigan delivers a noble, intelligent, impulsive sleuth whose dysfunctional domestic life, post-traumatic stress disorder and propensity for attracting trouble yield a complicated, likeable personality. O'Keefe is surrounded by a delightful assortment of supporting characters who add texture to his world...ensures that readers are emotionally invested and that the novel's surprises are satisfying and dramatic. This is an engrossing crime thriller that, despite being part of a series, easily stands alone. It's highly recommended for Michael Connelly fans." -- Blue Ink Review -
