Two years in prison. Two minutes of freedom. And the streets of Miami have already decided he's a dead man.
Bishop walks out of Turkey Point Prison expecting a fresh start. What he gets is a hail of machine gun fire before lunch.
The woman he spent two years dreaming about? Gone. His dog? Missing. The dime store where he used to buy cigarettes? Boarded up, its owner dead under mysterious circumstances.
Crime boss Arthur Fish offers Bishop a seat at the table and a deal that could change everything. All he has to do is broker a sale to a man named Jimmy G. The same name Bishop was asking about when his whole world fell apart.
But in 1920s Miami, where cops work for mobsters and the woman pouring your Coke might be reporting to your enemies, nothing is what it seems. The people Bishop trusts are lying. The people he dismissed are the key to everything. And somewhere in the city's shadows, a truth is waiting that will make him question every assumption he's ever made.
Stakeout is the second book in the Bishop Mystery series, a noir thriller where the real mystery isn't whodunit, but what everything you thought you knew actually means.
Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James Ellroy.
