Inhaltsangabe

¿By 2:27 on a Thursday afternoon, the one-legged man from Room 8 at 147 Loxitor Avenue had been beaten to death with a lead pipe. Twenty-eight minutes later, Detective Mike O'Shea is testifying in a stuffy courtroom, unaware that, within an hour, he will be standing in an alleyway littered with beer cans and condoms while his new partner uses a ballpoint pen to flick bugs off of a battered corpse. When a rogue undercover copper leaves Mike balancing what is legal with what is right, an unlikely rapport develops between Mike and the lead homicide investigator, a cop's cop in stilettos. At the end of his seventy-two-hour shift, three men are dead, and Mike O'Shea is floating in and out of consciousness in an emergency room hallway, two women by his side. In the second book of The Mike O'Shea Series, Death Before Coffee weaves a homicide investigation through the life of an inner-city police detective intent on balancing his responsibilities as a son, brother, and newly single father with his sworn oath of duty and the promise he made himself to find the man who murdered his former partner.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Desmond P. Ryan spent almost thirty years as a detective with the Toronto Police Service, working in some of the city's toughest and most challenging neighborhoods. His experience on the frontlines of law enforcement-dealing with everything from routine investigations to high-risk operations-gives his crime fiction a raw, unflinching authenticity. Whether he's digging into the dark, gritty world of policing in The Mike O'Shea Series or spinning a more offbeat mystery in A Pint of Trouble, Desmond Ryan's writing pulls no punches. His stories reflect the harsh realities of crime, the toll it takes on those who fight it, and the flawed humanity of everyone involved. Desmond Ryan's characters-complicated, sometimes broken, but always real-are shaped by years spent on the streets, making his books as hard-edged as the world they depict.
