Swan Dive

It began as a favor for an old friend: protect a frightened mother and child from a wrathful husband. Then the husband took a swan dive from a twelfth-story window, and in the seedy hotel room he left behind a dead prostitute - and Detective John Cuddy's gun. Now the Boston police won't believe Cuddy's innocent. And a volatile Caribbean drug lord thinks he's stolen the dead man's $250,000 stash of prime cocaine. In shell-shocked slums, moneyed suburbs and a beautiful lawyer's luxurious and corrupt domain, he's fighting for the brutal truth. And when he turns up the killer, it'll be the toughest collar he's ever made.
