The question is whether he was killed for a case two months old-the murder of a gay patrol officer-or a case twenty years closed-the one that left his father a paraplegic and made Ace Wyatt a hero.Īs Kovac and Liska dig deeper, they find their careers and lives on the line, because a killer wants the truth left dead and buried. As the case unfolds, it seems more and more likely that his death is somehow tied to his work. Unfortunately, neither Kovac nor Liska believe Fallon died by his own hand-accidentally or otherwise.

They would much rather have the publicity spotlight remain on their latest legend, retiring Captain Ace Wyatt, who is headed for the bright lights of Hollywood. Iron Mike, gunned down in the line of duty twenty years earlier and forced to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, has suffered enough, they say.

The shadows of suspicion fall deeply not only on the city's power elite, but into the very heart of the police department itself.īut Fallon's death has been officially ruled an accident, and the department brass want the case to go away. Together with his partner, the wisecracking, ambitious Nikki Liska, Kovac begins to dig at the too-neat edges of Fallon's death, uncovering one motive and one suspect after another. But Kovac has a sixth sense for crime, and it's burning. It's too much like looking into his own future.

He doesn't want to spend any more time than he has to in the bleak, empty world of the victim's father, Iron Mike, Kovac's old mentor and a department legend. The investigation will be a formality, a duty that veteran Homicide detective Sam Kovac isn't looking forward to. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned tragic accident? Either way, his death wasn't a crime. In front of it hung the body of Andy Fallon, a Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. The single word was written on the mirror. It is the story of two hard-boiled cops who dare to cross the thin and dangerous line that separates good and evil as they risk their lives to investigate the suspicious death of one of their own. New York Times bestseller Tami Hoag is at the top of her form in her newest thriller, blending unforgettable characters, breakneck suspense, and chilling twists.
