Shank
"A suspenseful police thriller, Shank mixes humor and drama for a fast-paced and fun read." - Foreword Clarion Reviews.
"A fine procedural augmented by beefy subplots and a pitiable villain." - Kirkus Reviews.
Detectives Mitchell and Sandovan are back, in Shank. Mitchell is stunned by the sudden death of his mother, Cora, during her annual trip abroad. According to her lawyer, Cora perished in a helicopter crash in Costa Rica, while scouting paint dyes for her art studio. The lawyer, Viliander McNamara, has another revelation that rocks Mitchell: his mother’s estate is worth millions, but he will only inherit the wealth if he gives up his job as a homicide detective. While Mitchell’s mind reels with these life-changing events, an old foe has set wheels in motion for a savage act of vengeance. Preoccupied on two fronts, Mitchell’s life takes one unpredictable turn after another. The only stability comes from his partner, Eddie Sandovan, and his girlfriend, ad executive Mya Laing. Trusts are repeatedly betrayed as Mitchell struggles to find his bearings amid the violence and the temptation of sudden wealth.
