She survived the bullet. The life she built didn’t.
From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author L.T. Ryan, with C.R. Gray, comes a raw, hard-edged crime thriller series.Former Pittsburgh police officer Maddie Castle lost her partner, her career, and the future she thought she’d earned in a single burst of gunfire. Now she’s back in the trailer park she fought to escape, living with relentless pain, too many pills, and barely enough private-investigator work to stay afloat.
Then another officer from her old unit is murdered.
His wounded police dog, Tempest, is traumatized, dangerous, and running out of time. Maddie may be the only person broken enough to reach him.
At the same time, a desperate mother begs Maddie to find her missing son. The search drags her into Pittsburgh’s criminal underworld, where powerful people bury their secrets—and anyone who gets too close to them.
Someone is watching Maddie. Someone wants her silenced.
If she backs down, a child could disappear forever, an innocent animal will die, and the people who destroyed her will keep winning. To stop them, Maddie must fight through the pain, reclaim the instincts she no longer trusts, and become the woman she was before the shooting.
She must become the Handler again.
The Handler is a raw, gritty crime thriller and police procedural featuring a damaged former cop, a missing-child investigation, police corruption, moral ambiguity, and a hard-won path back to purpose. For readers who enjoy Robert Crais’s Suspect and the hard-edged crime fiction of David Baldacci, James Patterson, and Michael Connelly.
