A deathbed confession. A fifty-year-old murder. A conspiracy that threatens everything.
Detroit Cold Case detective Jordan Cross just put one corrupt cop behind bars. Now, a dying officer's confession drops a new case on her desk: David Kowalski, union organizer, found dead in 1975. Ruled suicide. But Officer Raymond Blake swears it was murder—and the cop who buried it was Captain Vincent Wolcott, the same dirty captain Jordan just exposed.
The evidence is damning. A forged suicide note. A suspicious investigation closed in three days. And Kowalski died five days before a strike vote that would have shut down the Ford Hamtramck plant. When Jordan finds seven more union deaths with the same pattern, she's facing a corporate conspiracy spanning fifty years.
But there's something Blake's confession didn't mention: Jordan's father knew David Kowalski. Worked with him. Testified about his murder to Wolcott in 1975. Thirty-five years later, her father died the same way—gunshot, typed note, quick ruling. Suicide.
Now Jordan has to ask the question she's avoided for fifteen years: Was her father murdered, too?
For fans of Tana French and Michael Connelly. Gritty Detroit noir meets corporate conspiracy in this explosive second installment of the Jordan Cross series.
Genre: Mystery
