About This Book

When Ava Gold, New York City's first female detective, is called in to investigate the murder of a young woman beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, she quickly realizes this is no typical murder—and that she is up against no typical serial killer. To find him, her search will lead her into the rough streets and docks of burgeoning 1920s Brooklyn.

"A MASTERPIECE OF THRILLER AND MYSTERY. Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page."

--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)

CITY OF BONES (An Ava Gold Mystery—Book 3) is a new novel in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.

In the rough streets of 1920s New York City, 34 year-old Ava Gold, a widower and single mom, claws her way up to become the first female homicide detective in her NYPD precinct. She is as tough as they come, and willing to hold her own in a man's world.

But Ava, facing resentment and opposition from her all-male police force, has been transferred to a downtown precinct, and hazed relentlessly in the hope that she will become miserable enough to drop out.

Ava, pushed to the edge, will have to rely on her brilliant intellect to enter the killer's mind, to prove herself, and to stop him before he strikes again.

A heart-pounding suspense thriller filled with shocking twists, the authentic and atmospheric AVA GOLD MYSTERY SERIES is a riveting page-turner, endearing us to a strong and brilliant character that will capture your heart and keep you reading late into the night.
