Bad Day for the Home Team, a Novel by Alex O'Meara, Now Available

Nov. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- A man walks into a restaurant on a bright, beautiful Memorial Day afternoon in a small Arizona town, pulls out a gun and shoots forty people before killing himself. Why?

In Bad Day for the Home Team a gorgeous reporter, a world-weary cop, and the man’s own brother try to figure out what made Sam Tryor go on a shooting spree. The one person who can answer that question, Sam Tryor, is dead, but he’s also trying to figure out why he would do such a thing. Filled with violence, humor, and insight, Sam’s journey of discovery from beyond the grave leads him to a conclusion as disturbing for what it reveals about us as it is shocking for what it reveals about him.

“Bad Day for the Home Team is set in Cochise County, Arizona,” says author Alex O’Meara, a reporter who has written about murders everywhere from the violent streets on the South Side of Chicago to the calm yards in suburban Connecticut and, yes, even in Cochise County. “Even though it’s the same stomping grounds as Joanna Brady, the sheriff featured in J.A. Jance’s bestselling mysteries, this is a whole different world.”

O’Meara has worked for the City News Bureau of Chicago, the Washington DC bureau of the Baltimore Sun; NBC in Tucson, Arizona; Newsday; the News-Times, in Danbury, Connecticut; and many other media organizations. He is the author of Chasing Medical Miracles: The Promise and Perils of Clinical Trials (Walker 2009). He can be contacted at (520 432-3979 and http://www.alexomeara.com
