Synopsis

A brilliant reporter, haunted by her husband's death . . .

A disgraced cop, tangled in a web of lies . . .

Two unlikely heroes. One unthinkable crime.

The Crime Beat, Episode 1: New York

Perched on the soft tar of a New York City rooftop, a mysterious sniper fires a single round from a fifty caliber rifle. Five stories below, his target collapses on the marble steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dead.

Crime reporter Jane Cole needs this story badly. Suspended NYPD cop Robert Warren is desperate to clear his name. They don't trust each other, but they make the perfect team. And as Cole and Warren track the killer, they uncover a plot so ruthless it shocks the conscience, a crime so expansive it will rock the world.

This was a wholly enjoyable read. Our characters were interesting and felt real (probably helped that the author used to be a NY Journalist). I’m tempted to carry on with this series the next time I get a Kindle Unlimited Subscription, we’ve only just scratched the surface.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on June 29, 2020

The book starts out with a sniper kill of a very influential and rich person in a public place. The story centers around a reporter and a cop trying to figure it out.

DNF @ 37% The plot was intriguing. The writing drew me in. I loved the NYC setting. The characters were so-so (Cole wasn't all that likable but she was realistic) What made me call it quits was all the language. As annoying and as frequent as it was, I tried to ignore it but when the F-bomb showed......more
