Description
“A multilayered thriller that races to an explosive conclusion.”—PeopleCaptain Marcus Graver, working out of the Houston P.D.’s Criminal Intelligence Division, has made a career of collecting other people’s secrets. But it takes a bullet to the brain of one of his own investigators to reveal the darkest secrets of all.
Officially the death of Arthur Tisler is a suicide. But Graver’s seen the files of Tisler’s last case and he refuses to bury his questions with the corpse. His show more instincts tell him that Tisler was onto something big—big enough to cost the investigator his life. And the more Graver digs, the more he’s convinced that the trail of corruption leads back to his own command.
Now he must do the most dangerous thing any cop can do: go outside the department. He must enter a shadowy labyrinth of lies and deception where he can trust no one, not even his closest friends and colleagues. And waiting at the center of the maze is a mysterious, sadistic genius, a pair of beautiful assassins, and a thread of clues that will lead to a dark rendezvous with the truth—and death.
“Relentlessly paced and adroitly imagined . . . sure to win [David] Lindsey numerous new fans—and thoroughly satisfy his current ones.”—Publishers Weekly. show less

Once in a while you go to a used book store and find a book that you missed years ago. This is such a book. Current as it was in 1993 with international drug trade, murder, police corruption, and a brave policeman who does the right thing. This has it all and then some. Lindsey is a Texan and writes about Houston in this novel. You are there with the heat, humidity, all of it.
Recommended for all suspense readers.

Excellent mystery...lots of characters...lots of twist/turns....very long book, bit slow at first, but grabs you once you get into it. 561 pages of small print.
