An ex-NYPD investigator finds a body she recognizes under the George Washington Bridge in this "vividly told" crime thriller "studded with wry wit" (Publishers Weekly).
Kat Stone knows she's living on borrowed time, waiting for her violent past to catch up with her. Still, she doesn't expect men to start falling from the sky. On a desolate morning in Fort Washington Park, Kat discovers the body of her apartment building's maintenance man.
The NYPD is quick to dismiss his death as suicide, another lost soul leaping from the bridge overhead. But Kat is less than convinced, especially when she learns about his dangerous side hustle.
Forced to go undercover with a deep-sea fishing company, she's determined to crack the case. But will she find the killer before her past drags her under?
This riveting novel of suspense features "a motley cast of colorful characters-including a hallucination-inducing jellyfish. . . . Substance, entertainment, and chills-a-plenty" (The Seattle Review of Books).
"Fascinating and fully developed characters." ―Publishers Weekly
Praise for the Kat Stone series
"Aficionados of humorous mysteries like the Stephanie Plum series and the Lucky O'Toole series by Deborah Coonts will want to add this to their reading lists." -Booklist on The Red Chameleon
