Detective Peter Copeland wakes up on the beach one morning with a killer headache and no clue how he came to be there. Before long, he discovers that the exotic redheaded stranger he met at a party the night before is washed up on the beach, dead. What's this? Another detective mystery? But finally, here's one that departs from the mold. "Dead Red" is based on first-hand knowledge of solving mysterious deaths, thanks to author Nelson Andreu's twenty-two years in Miami's Homicide Unit. Readers who are curious about the workings behind crime investigations finally get what they want: insight on the inner workings of homicide(extracting answers from a reluctant witness, capturing an elusive fingerprint, distilling evidence from a mutilated victim) woven within an intriguing plot. Of course, Detective Copeland uncovers the answer--but that answer is what every cop dreads.

CopShop Review,
By
This review is from: Dead Red (Paperback)
Knowing Nelson cut no slack with me. I've been reading Cop books since a was a young guy. I'm used to the best, McBain, Cornwell, Wabaugh etc. But I honestly can state that the only reason that i didn't give it 5 stars was I was looking for the hook to the next crime scene in his next book. I guess I didn't want the bad guy caught yet!I actually went to an autospy with him a hundred years ago. It was a "Crispy Critter", a burn victim. Nelson was the best teacher on pointing out certain things to be noted that might be helpful in the investigation. Cool man, very cool. I'll bet the Miami cops miss him a bunch. Like I said no slack,I want another and soon!! Get going Andreu Dennis Wayne

DEAD RED is an Outstanding Police Novel,
By Gilberto Morales (Coral Gables, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Red (Paperback)
Having lived most of my life in the greater Miami area, I have always been facinated with Detective novels. A friend recommended 'Dead Red' last week. Was I glad she did! After having read dozens of police novels I finally found one that truly explains the inside workings of a real case. This is one book you will not want to put down. A big Hoorah to Nelson Andreu for this superb novel!

Outstanding Detective Novel,
By Tuti Carpio (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Red (Paperback)
As an avid reader of `Detective Novels' I was given a pre-release copy of "Dead Red" by a close friend. I must admit I was kept on the edge of my seat as I turned the pages! The procedures the author lays out in this novel are OUTSTANDING! I guess every writer of detective novels should research their facts before writing. In the case of "Dead Red," the author has first hand knowledge based on his experience in the field. I highly recommend all of you who like Detective type novels to pick up a copy of Nelson Andreu's new book.
