FREE BONUS STORY - This edition includes Zombie: A Sarah Levine Story
Some answers only lead to more questions
Detective Erin O'Reilly returns to New York from a long vacation with a fianc?, a suntan, and an eagerness to get back to work. Her dangerous undercover assignment is done, and she hopes to concentrate on repairing the damage caused by the O'Malley gang. The first call she gets seems simple enough; an apparent suicide in a Hell's Kitchen bar.
But nothing is ever easy in Major Crimes. The dead man is a police officer, a former colleague of Erin's Internal Affairs friend Kira Jones. William Ward had a reputation as a good cop, but as Erin has learned, reputations don't tell the whole story. Erin, Kira, Vic, and Erin's K-9 Rolf try to unravel the mystery of Ward's final hours, only to find the dead cop has laid out a fiendish series of puzzles. Are they a disturbed man's sick joke, or is Ward sending them a message-a trail of clues pointing to an enemy lurking in the NYPD itself?
Erin and her friends rack their brains for the answers that drove a policeman to put a bullet through his own head. The clock is ticking, and Ward's life isn't the only one in jeopardy. On the street, you're always one bad choice and one bullet from death.
BONUS - Zombie: A Sarah Levine Story
Dying can be contagious
The dead speak to Dr. Sarah Levine from the autopsy table, but they don't usually rise off the slab to kill the living. When Levine's fianc? calls her into a hospital morgue for a late-night consultation, the last thing she's expecting is a walking corpse. A nurse has been brutally murdered and the evidence points to a recently-deceased man as the only possible culprit. Though the literature holds no examples of bloodthirsty zombies, there's a first time for everything.
Levine is on her own, trying to conjure up the truth from a cocktail of old folklore, dangerous chemicals, and her encyclopedic knowledge of death. While she prowls the deserted morgue, New York's best Medical Examiner slowly comes to realize someone-or something-may be hunting her.
