Synopsis

A cop finds the body of the man who abused him long ago, in this “dark, noir thriller echoing the best works of Hammett and Lehane, [yet] altogether original” (Stephen J. Golds, author of Always the Dead). Marcus Kemp is a beat cop living a normal life in San Diego, California—until the day he makes a shocking discovery: a dead body in the trunk of a stolen car. Worse, the victim turns out to be the man who abused him as a child. Marcus instinctively wants to help the killer get away with murder and, disregarding his police oath, will stop at nothing to make it happen. With both his job and freedom in jeopardy, Marcus’s investigation leads him to an unexpected suspect, and he is soon faced with an impossible decision. Can he finally bury the past before it drags him under? “An interesting plot that takes several dizzying twists and turns.”—S. A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland “An entertaining, high-octane thriller that won’t let you down and will evoke some serious emotions . . . Ippolito has knocked it out of the park and, whether you are a fan of crime thrillers or not, you will enjoy this story.” —Readers’ Favorite “No amount of SoCal sunshine can burn away the traumas of the past. Marcus Kemp takes his place in the pantheon of battle-damaged California noir heroes, anti or otherwise, in a compelling tale of one man facing his own pain.” —Brian Asman, author of Jailbroke “Classic crime fiction with a 21st century edge.” —Paul D. Brazill, author of Guns of Brixton

    Twenty crime stories by the creator of Jack Reacher, never before collected 
     
     
     
    For the past twenty years, Lee Child has been one of the bestselling authors in the world, thanks to the popularity of his iconic and instantly recognizable hero Jack Reacher. But even at the height of Reacher's fame, Child's short story writing was not confined to the series; throughout the course of his career, he published tales about a range of characters on both sides of the law, including assassins, a body guard, CIA and FBI agents, gangsters, and more. Meticulously plotted and packed with Child's trademark action and suspense, this collection shows the author's mastery of the short form.

A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark.
