Get a Clue - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When legendary D.C. homicide detective Marcus Ray is forced into retirement by a new police chief who sees him as a relic, it feels like more than the end of a career—it feels like exile. Marcus, long revered for his near-mythic ability to see what others missed, is suddenly left with cold cases that still burn hot in his mind. One in particular haunts him: the 2012 murder of a promising young journalist named Claire Hsu, whose death was ruled unsolvable. Stripped of his badge and his purpose, Marcus appears to fall into despair—until he’s found dead in his apartment, an apparent suicide. His old team mourns the loss of a mentor, a brother, a man they thought would never break.

But Detective Vega wakes in the middle of the night with a realization that won’t let go: Marcus wouldn’t take his own life. And he wouldn’t leave a case unsolved. As she and her former partner Moore re-examine the case files Marcus had obsessed over, they begin to see a darker design at play—one that points toward their own police chief, Jonathan Rudd. The more they uncover, the more they’re drawn into a web of buried crimes, unspoken loyalties, and planted clues that blur the line between justice and revenge. What begins as an investigation into their mentor’s death becomes a reckoning with the truth Marcus wanted them to find—but not too easily. Because Marcus Ray may be gone, but he’s still pulling strings from beyond the grave. Or so it seems.
