After years of chasing murderers, now they're the ones chasing him...
Philadelphia homicide detective Frank Conti thought his biggest challenge would be adjusting to life after the badge. But just one day into retirement, the police storm his home and discover a dead body. In less than twenty-four hours, he's gone from celebrated officer to prime suspect.
To clear his name, Conti must do the one thing he's spent his career excelling at... solving the murder. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Conti soon uncovers a pattern of similar deaths stretching back years. He isn't just hunting a killer, he's walking straight into the middle of a deadly game. Because the murdered woman isn't who she seemed, and her death has attracted the attention of a ruthless Russian crime boss determined to get revenge.
With a rival detective eager to see him fall, a serial killer who's starting to unravel, and the mob closing in, Conti has one chance to prove he's not the murderer...
But first he has to stay alive.
Better Off Dead is a fast, darkly funny crime thriller packed with twists, perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen.
