The last thing he needs is to reopen a closed murder case.But thatâÇÖs the birthday wish of a nine-year-old girl, making it difficult for him to refuse. Since the request comes through NovakâÇÖs wife, itâÇÖs impossible. When Novak grudgingly peeks into the case, he doesnâÇÖt like what he finds.áThe borough council resists his spending another minute on the case, but donâÇÖt try telling a veteran Pittsburgh cop he canâÇÖt do his job. Whoever wants the case dropped wants Novak out and is using a secret from his past against him.áWhen one of his officers disappears while investigating the old case, Karol Novak has only hours to bring her back, solve all three murders, and save his job and reputation.The gritty detail of police work is reminiscent of Ed McBainâÇÖs police procedurals, while the relationship between Karol and Barbara Novak recalls Donna LeonâÇÖs Venetian mysteries.Will Novak answer the nine-year-oldâÇÖs plea before the council forces him out? Find out for yourself by buying this engaging novel of small-town policing.á
