The Big Dive

In this whodunit set in 1951 Denver, the partner of street cop Joe Stryker is brutally slain almost in front of his eyes. The second time Joe has lost a partner to murder! In this sequel to the award-winning Murder on the Tracks, Joe faces two baffling questions: How did the killer pull off such a brazen murder and escape? And why was Joe's choir boy partner murdered while in the act of burglarizing a pawnshop? To protect his dead partner's reputation-and save his own career-Joe conceals his investigation from his new partner, his superiors, even his wife. All while dodging a homicide detective hell-bent to pin the crimes on Joe. His investigation soon leads him to a ring of dirty cops-and a dark secret that goes back to the shameful internment of Japanese-American citizens during World War II. Before Joe can answer the baffling questions and track down the brutal killer, he once again must risk his career, his marriage . . . and his life.
