STATELINE by Dave Stanton (Kindle eBook)
Amazon £0
Cancel the wedding–the groom is dead.
When a tycoon’s son is murdered the night before his wedding, the enraged and grief-stricken father offers private detective Dan Reno a life-changing bounty to find the killer. Reno, nearly broke, figures he’s finally landed in the right place at the right time. It’s a nice thought, but when a band of crooked cops get involved, Reno finds himself not only earning every penny of his paycheck, but also fighting for his life.
Who committed the murder, and why? Which cops can he trust, if any? Haunted by his murdered father and a violent, hard drinking past, Reno wants no more blood on his hands. But a man’s got to make a living, and backing off is not in his DNA. Traversing the snowy alpine winter in the Sierras and the lonely deserts of Nevada, Reno must revert to his old ways to survive. Because the fat bounty won’t do him much good if he’s dead.
Stateline is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled ride from start to finish, packed with vividly portrayed characters. Brilliantly written, it will keep you turning the pages late into the night.
Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Robert Crais.
