Nothing to Hide (A Roland March Mystery) [Paperback]

J. Mark Bertrand (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2012 | Series: A Roland March Mystery

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher
for this Homicide Cop

Publishers Weekly calls J. Mark Bertrand's writing "gritty and chilling." He returns once more to the streets of Houston for another twisting mystery featuring Detective Roland March. This time, a new case is launched by the discovery of a headless corpse . . . only the investigation quickly becomes complicated when a blood sample analysis brings a phone call from the FBI.

The body was an undercover agent working to bring down Mexican cartels. The feds want the case closed rather than risk exposing other
agents in the field, but March can't abide letting a murder go unsolved. And
he doesn't have to dig long to figure out something isn't right. Someone is
covering something up, and it seems that everyone has something to hide.
Maybe even March, as the case soon intersects, unexpectedly, with the
murder that led him to become a homicide cop, all those years ago.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A grisly homicide. An international threat.
The stakes have never been higher for
Detective Roland March.

The victim's head is missing, but what intrigues Detective Roland March is the hand. The pointing finger must be a clue--but to what? According to the FBI, the dead man was an undercover asset tracking the flow of illegal arms to the Mexican cartels. To protect the operation, they want March to play along with the cover story. With a little digging, though, he discovers the Feds are lying. And they're not the only ones.
In an upside-down world of paranoia and conspiracy, March finds himself dogged by injury and haunted by a tragic failure. Forced to take justice into his own hands, his twisting investigation leads him into the very heart of darkness, leaving March with nothing to lose--and nothing to hide.
