Double Takedown
by Kevin G. Chapman
December 10-13
What happens when a closed case breaks wide open?
NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson are preparing to testify at a high-profile murder trial. They busted the Broadway director, who poisoned his leading actor to collect the insurance money on his doomed show. Or did he? The director claims the evidence was planted to frame him and that Mike and Jason developed tunnel vision. If they did, can they live with themselves, knowing that an innocent man might be convicted . . . and someone else got away with the perfect crime?
The prosecutor and their captain order them not to re-opening the closed case. But Mike and Jason are plagued by doubts. When new evidence leads to even more questions, the detectives race to put the pieces together and uncover the whole truth. But their unauthorized investigation could lead to catastrophic collateral damage, could cost them their badges, and the director may still be guilty.
Fans of Michael Connelly and James Patterson will love the return of Mike Stoneman and his crew in this intricate police procedural mystery with twists you won’t see coming.
