"Maddy would be furious with him that they had not given
her the exclusive story. But he was confident that people would be calling for
results in the investigation, and of course, Dick would be their man. He would
take Pope's position as chief of police and then suspend Murphy for mishandling
the case. Even if they never solved it, he could always blame the results on
Pope and Murphy. It was the perfect plan...."
I just had the pleasure of reading the second book in the
"Detective Jack Murphy" series, "The Coldest Fear." I
thought I'd go back and get the first one and was pleased to find Netgalley
offering it. Now I found out how "Jack Murphy" was introduced to us.
This is an excellent crime thriller series.
In this first Detective Murphy book we find a twisted killer
doing unspeakable things to his victims. He's challenging Jack to find him. If
he can. When those Jack loves are threatened, well it's a game that Jack doesn't
plan to lose.
Jack is returning to work after surviving a knife attack that
left his face scarred. With the help of Susan, his girlfriend, he's recovered
enough to return to get back to the job. Jack still has his ex wife Katie as
well. Susan and Katie have become friends.
The criminal element that left him scarred is plotting their
revenge. One just got of jail, and these criminal brothers detest Jack.. They'd
like nothing better than to finish what they started. At least that's what it
appears to be. Is it really them or is it someone else?
Jack and his partner, Liddell Blanchard, are called to the
homicide scene of someone Jack knows, and the mayhem has begun. Time for them
to track down these killers. How many innocents will die first? Or will they be
the ones who get away again? After all they did escape Jack once. Jack and his
crew will also have to fight among the people whom they work alongside to get
results. Just because they're in a position of power or a cop doesn't make them
any less selfish about their own careers. Abuse of power can sometimes lead to
loss of life. Jack may be the only man to unravel it, although he does seek
help from those around him.
While very graphic, this is a detective/crime/thriller you
won't be able to put down. I absolutely love this author. Lots of scary moments.
I know its not real but it has a real feel to it. The author have obvious
experience in this subject. I love these stories, but a child murder always
bothers me. Still an excellent read. More "Jack Murphy's" are in the
works! I plan to read them, you should too.
