Summary

When Justice Protects the Guilty...

 
The law is meant to shield the innocent—but what happens when the chief of police is hiding a dark secret of his own?

 
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe is approached by an anonymous woman with a disturbing claim: an unspeakable crime is being concealed by none other than Police Chief Tolly Shephard, and the victim is his own niece, Cheyenne Potter. Billy Jo turns to Detective Mark Friessen, but without a clear victim, he’s torn—until they start uncovering unsettling clues that suggest Tolly has been covering up far more than anyone realized.

 
As they dig deeper into Tolly’s web of secrets, they soon find themselves up against people who manipulate the law for their own gain. Every answer uncovers another chilling question, and Mark and Billy Jo must tread carefully. In this high-stakes game, crossing the wrong line could lead them into a battle they’re not sure they can win. 

 
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart, Above the Law is a gripping mystery where the lines between justice and corruption blur—and not everyone makes it out unscathed.

    A magician-turned-sleuth in pre-war London solves three impossible crimes 
     
     
     
    In 1930s London, celebrity psychiatrist Anselm Rees is discovered dead in his locked study, and there seems to be no way that a killer could have escaped unseen. There are no clues, no witnesses, and no evidence of the murder weapon. Stumped by the confounding scene, the Scotland Yard detective on the case calls on retired stage magician-turned-part-time sleuth Joseph Spector. For who better to make sense of the impossible than one who traffics in illusions? 
     
     
     
    Spector has a knack for explaining the inexplicable, but even he finds that there is more to this mystery than meets the eye. As he and the Inspector interview the colorful cast of suspects among the psychiatrist's patients and household, they uncover no shortage of dark secrets—or motives for murder. When the investigation dovetails into that of an apparently-impossible theft, the detectives consider the possibility that the two transgressions are related. And when a second murder occurs, this time in an impenetrable elevator, they realize that the crime wave will become even more deadly unless they can catch the culprit soon.

    In this new installment of Ken Bruen's beloved Jack Taylor series, the whiskey-swigging Irish detective investigates a series of violent attacks on the local convent's nuns. 
     
     
     
    Jack Taylor wakes up from a coma to discover that much of the world has changed since he last walked the streets of Galway. The pandemic had hit while he was under, devastating the lives of many in his beloved city and beyond. Now, as Jack tries to recover from the attack that put him in the hospital and absorb the incredible changes in the world around him, a woman approaches him with a distressing case: two local nuns have been bludgeoned by a mysterious man wielding a hammer, and more are sure to follow. As the police fail to act while the violence against the Sisters escalates, Jack seems like their only hope. 
     
     
     
    Initially wary of becoming involved in the investigation, Jack finds he cannot stay away from the mystery surrounding these vicious attacks. He also cannot shake a feeling of darkness that has haunted him since he awoke from his coma—a darkness that is far too close for comfort. Luckily an old friend is there to help see him through and there is always Jack's dark wit and a drink to help shore up his mood.
