One Dead Cop. Two Dedicated Detectives. And More
Suspects Than You Can Shake a Wiretap At.
On a cold, rainy, March night, NYPD homicide detective Frank
Flynn catches the worst case there is: A cop shot under the Brooklyn Bridge.
Forced to team-up with an Internal Affairs investigator, the two detectives
must work together to sort through a plethora of suspects, all of whom have
reasons for wanting the dirty cop dead, to determine who shot the cop—and
why—while harboring secrets of their own.
In this
novelette, a cop is discovered in his patrol car, shot twice, once in the chest
and again in the groin. Known as a tough, dirty cop, everyone is surprised he
didn’t try to defend himself. The scene gives the impression he knew the
killer, and wasn’t worried. Frank Flynn, the homicide detective, and Christian
Levy, Internal Affairs are both on the scene and take over the investigation.
Each discovers the other has a past history with the dirty cop, and while they
investigate other suspects, they secretly uncover clues about their partner.
Some
characters were a little too stereotype in my opinion, but the writing is
excellent, and the story moves fast to a conclusion. I think it would have worked
better as a novel length mystery, as it moved a little too quickly. However, there
is a fine twist at the end, and I highly recommend this for mystery lovers.
