[Joe Stryker 02] • The Big Dive

A hard-boiled street cop must confront the unthinkable . . . again!

For the second time in Joe Stryker’s headline-grabbing career, a partner is brutally slain in the line of duty. Almost in front of Joe’s eyes.

Set in 1951 Denver, this sequel to the award-winning Murder on the Tracks finds Joe faced with two baffling questions: How did the killer pull off such a brazen murder? And why was Joe’s partner—a cop so by-the-book that fellow officers scornfully nicknamed him “Saint Benedict”—murdered while burglarizing a pawnshop?

To protect his dead partner’s reputation—and save his own career—Joe lies to investigators and his wife as he operates in the shadows to hunt for his partner’s killer. All while dodging a homicide detective hell-bent to pin the crimes on Joe. Before he can discover the chilling truth behind his partner’s baffling murder, Joe once again must risk his career, his marriage . . . and his life.
