Reed Farrel Coleman is the bestselling author of 31 crime fiction novels. His latest series introduces an unforgettable antihero, police “fixer” Nick Ryan.

When you’re in trouble, you call 911. When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan. 

Nearly three thousand New Yorkers died on 9/11. But in the entire city on that tragic day, only one murder actually took place. Now, over two decades later, Detective Nick Ryan must dig beneath the official report—and into his own past—to find the truth.

Working again for the mysterious power broker “Joe,” Nick finds a link between an airman, a billionaire, a trove of Nazi gold, and a crew of killers, but gets sidetracked when his dear “uncle” Tony and Tony’s wife are murdered in a professional hit.

Nick’s investigations uncover a tangled web of corruption and blood money, and as the horrifying truth emerges, he finds himself outgunned, on the run, and trusting no one.

With professional killers on his trail, will Nick Ryan be able to end the violence before he loses everything that matters to him—including his own life?

Reed Farrel Coleman, called a hard-boiled poet by NPR’s Maureen Corrigan, is the New York Times bestselling author of 33 novels including six in Robert B. Parker’s Jesse Stone series. He is a four-time recipient of the Shamus Award and a four-time Edgar Award nominee in three different categories.
