THE DEAD GIRL THEY FISHED OUT OF THE EAST RIVER WAS A DRUG ADDICTED HOOKER, SO NOBODY REALLY CARED. Except that Medical Examiner Michelle McNeill thinks it's a murder, and NYPD Homicide detective Mike Stoneman agrees.
Every death is a tragedy, and every murderer should be exposed, even when nobody wants to hear about it. When Mike and his partner, Jason Dickson, start to dig into the case, they find that there may be other cops protecting the criminals - or maybe they are the criminals. And one of them might be Mike's former partner. In order to uncover the truth, Mike and Jason have to go outside the lines, and risk their own reputations, jobs - and lives. This case is one that Mike can't walk away from, no matter how much he wants to.
Fans of Harry Bosch will love this fast-paced police thriller. "Kevin Chapman is the East Coast distributor of tension," raves Greg Prince, author of Faith and Fear in Flushing.
