Burning Bridges

Marshall Webb and Rebecca Davies #3

by Troy Soos

New York City.

The summer is a scorcher.

And a killer is about to turn up the heat.

Moments after giving a rousing speech, a prominent businessman lies dead on a dark Brooklyn street, shot twice through the head...

While their parents turn a blind eye, the sons and daughters of the wealthy slip away to the opium dens of Chinatown, indulging in a decadence more dangerous than they know...

And the disappearance of a young girl is only the beginning of a harrowing odyssey that leads to a city s most shocking secrets...

Now, in a city on the edge, Harper s Weekly editor Marshall Webb and reformer Rebecca Davies are in a race against time, putting together the pieces of a puzzle that could expose a hidden world of vice and corruption, where everything has a price and someone is guilty of murder...

Reviews

[Michael Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hard to find, but I wanted to complete my series of books written by Troy Soos. This is an admirable addition to his Marshall Webb series and probably my favorite. I read the series in random order. If you read please start with the first Island of Tears. Even though I enjoyed the series, please do another Mickey rawlings mystery. He can become a minor league coach and later the majors. He is one of my favorite fictional characters.I disagree with some readers about the story, it was engrossing eventhough I suspected who the killer was. Keep up the good work.
