Caged: A Charlie Hardwick Thriller

by Tom Meitner

Police detective Charlie Hardwick has been sent to prison for murder… again. Can his partner get him out? And can she do it without the chief of police firing her for insubordination? ”The conspiracy deepens”… “I need to know what happens next!”… “Very addictive series”… Police detective Sarah Bryer is now in the hot seat, as her partner, Charlie Hardwick, has been once again imprisoned for murder. Was she wrong to trust him this whole time? The two detectives have now learned just how high up the conspiracy goes. In their efforts to unravel it, they know the system will stop at nothing to keep them down. First, they have to get Charlie out of jail before other prisoners beat him to death. Then, they have to recalibrate their plan so that they don’t make any mistakes that could lead to one - or both - getting killed. As if that wasn’t enough to worry about, the city of Chicago continues to be overloaded with murders, like a wave of escorts turning up brutally murdered in luxury hotels around the city, a sniper picking off innocent citizens with no remorse, and a killer who casually walks into his victims’ homes without being detected. Can Charlie get out of prison? Is the conspiracy too deep for them to overcome? And are the killers going to run the city? If you like fast-paced crime books with gripping twists and turns, then the pages of these thriller and mystery books will turn themselves! Check it out today!

About the author

Tom Meitner (me) is a father and husband who lives in Wisconsin.

They say if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. A lot of fiction today doesn't speak to me - they're well written and have plenty of fans, so other authors are certainly doing it right. But me? I want something simple. I want something I can consume on my schedule. I want to be able to commit to a story, but have a clear point to break off when I have to get back to my real life.

So that's how I write.

My nonfiction books - based entirely on my experiences making stupid mistakes throughout my life - can all be read in under 2 hours apiece. My fiction books - including my current series, "Hardwick" - are arranged like episodes of an ongoing television show.

You can commit to the full series and keep on reading, or you can find a spot to take a break. It's reading on your schedule, with stories that move forward. I write the stories I would want to read. I hope you want to read them, too.
