No one should be above the law. Including those in charge.
Parker Hanson, a former journalist turned private investigator, is recovering from triple bypass surgery. But when he discovers a possible case of government corruption, Parker's instincts kick in and he can't resist digging deeper.
To expose the secrets of this criminal conspiracy, Parker must battle not only powerful and well-connected adversaries but also his own self-doubts as a working-class outsider. As the danger ramps up, he seeks help from his tough and resourceful neighbor, former Army Ranger Amalia Velasquez, in bringing justice for his client.
Navigating a treacherous web of deceit and power dynamics won't be easy, however. And when Parker suspects the governor of New Hampshire might be involved in a double murder, does he have what it takes to compete in the big leagues?
Filled with heart-pumping suspense, gripping action scenes, and a healthy dose of humor, this debut crime thriller by veteran journalist Dennis Pierce will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. If you're a fan of Robert B. Parker's Spenser series or other clever and relatable detectives, you won't want to miss this one.
Parker is an engaging character, one to root for. -Kirkus Reviews
