A devastated Norelli knows she is being set up by the Poser, and now it's only a matter of time before Internal Affairs brings her in as a suspect. Norelli has to act fast, and with the help of some unexpected allies, she quickly finds herself in an international manhunt. In a race against the clock and driven to clear her name, Norelli must break more than a few rules in order to bring the true killer to justice.

David Temple’s THE IMPOSTOR is a gripping novel that pushes the boundaries of mainstream police procedurals. THE IMPOSTOR is not so much about crime-solving as it deep dives into the murky waters of victim psychology.
Temple introduces Detective Pat Norelli in the previous novel, THE POSER. His hard-edge writing style gave the world a gritty, driven detective who dances comfortably in the grey area of the legal system to avoid failure. The villain, Darius Tercel, turns on overwhelming charm as a guise, but beneath the sheep’s clothing hides a cunning, go-to-any-extreme predator. Together, their cat-and-mouse game lends itself to the nervous expectation of Stephen King meets John Lescroart.
This lean page-turner includes a surprising international spin that works well to stack the ante of excitement and suspense. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Detective Pat Norelli.
