“The discovery of a body on a Long Island beach leads a detective into a complex murder investigation with possible ties to drug trafficking…An entertaining mystery with an engaging hero and deftly handled plot twists.” — Kirkus Reviews

Praised by the East Hampton Star as an “amazing detective” for his expertise in crime-solving, Jericho is hard-pressed to live up to his reputation, in two separate cases. One is a homicide, involving a corpse found buried near a hiking trail in Montauk. The other deals with the complex interactions of competing sinister and violent drug cartels.

Jericho comes face to face with homicide, gang wars, human trafficking, immigration issues, and racial tensions. Things come to a boiling point in this twisty story, until the life of the amazing detective himself is in serious jeopardy.

"As in all Jericho novels, the ending is shocking and unexpected. An entertaining mystery with an engaging hero and deftly handled plot twists." — Kirkus Reviews

murder mystery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2019

Deputy Chief Dispatcher Evangeline “Vangie” Clark (A/A, lesbian, EHTPD) got a very urgent 911 call.
Chief Sidney “Sid” Krauss (EHTPD) was notified.
The Lobster Roll. DS Jericho (East Hampton PD Homicide EHTPD), & Rainbow (Jericho’s lover, Ink Inc. tattoo parlor, owner/artist, Riverhead) were out enjoying their evening together.
Chief Krauss called DS Jericho.
He was headed to Hither Hills State Park (Montauk), Napeague Trail.

Joey Schmitt (Take a Hike Club leader) greeted him.
Dr. John Alvarez (Suffolk County ME, pathologist) had examined the body of Todd R. Winfield (55+, husband, WinTrade commodities broker, MCX member).
Georgica. 503 Lily Pond Lane. DS Jericho went to see Mrs. Ardis Winfield (45+, wife, East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society board of directors’ member, Wellesley College BA Theatre Arts).
DI Rick Tepper, & the CSU had gone over the crime scene & now back at the black Mercedes-Benz SUV that had been located.

DS Jericho took Todd’s laptop over to Ziggy “The Zigg” (Galbraith Suffolk County Cyber CU CIS). The password was figured out & there were some very interesting emails to the Philippines.
The folder/spreadsheets were even more interesting.
Cedar Point lighthouse. Jerry Gianinni (father), & his son were going fishing.
The son noticed by the lighthouse there was a man propped up with his head chopped of.
Jerry dialed 911.
The body later was ID as Juan-Carlos Aguayo (Sinaloa cartel drug king-pin, former Attica prison inmate). The Flying Dragons gang took credit for the murder.
The CSU was going over Mike Mendez’s 100’Hatteras yacht (Superior Endeavor Properties Limited owner).

The Latin Kings had whacked Todd R. Winfield (accountant/record-keeper).
Will the murder mysteries be solved & someone brought to justice?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written murder mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great murder mystery movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; Top Tier Lit; BookSends; LisaatManybooks; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

Typos were distracting, plot a bit flimsy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2022

The story line was interesting enough... the first I've read in this series. However, there were gaping holes in the methodology of the investigation. For instance, Jericho never even asks to see the victim's office which turns out to be the actual crime scene. And his habit of "thinking" in italics gives the reader no opportunity to figure things out along the way... nothing left to the imagination. And there were lots of typos... not so much misspelled words, but misplaced words in the wrong order, and obvious errors such as making a date for Friday after work & then saying "see you Saturday". I found the errors to be very distracting.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me enthralled however in the end I wondered what the medical examiner's results were used for. Otherwise it was a good ending that I had not anticipated.

Good police procedural

This is my first Jericho book. Pretty good. Moves at a slow pace, but is well thought out and believable. Detective Jericho solves murders. No macho man heroics, just good police work. Characters are well thought out.
I'll look for another.

Semi well written, run of the mill who done it. Interesting reading with a final scene to put a pin in it.

Like that Detective Jericho is interested in justice. These books seem to be much better at police procedures than the amateur detective type books. Really shows that care is taken to keep the story pretty accurate with technology and actual police procedures.

Didn't feel like this was anything special. Just a detective novel, start to finish. Not sorry I read it, just a little disappointed it wasn't better..... better characters, better story, better at not being so predictable!

Good story with an unexpected ending. Again, surprised to read about a Cop who decides who is the person to be charged with the crime. Still it is only a story!!!
