Cutthroat Dogs: An Amos Walker Mystery

April Goss was just a normal college freshman, bright and looking forward to a brighter future. Her dreams ended when she was found dead in her bathtub. At first it was assumed to be a suicide, but her boyfriend, Dan Corbeil, was charged with murder, tried and convicted, and sent to prison for the rest of his life. That was 20 years ago. today, Detroit Private Investigator, Amos Walker, was contacted by Dan's sister. She has never believed Dan was guilty. She's had enough of the cops who never looked for anyone else once Dan was in their sights. The lawyer who defended him was barely out of school himself and couldn't manage to stay ahead of the big guns. Even when more evidence was found in his favor, it was never brought to light. She wants Amos to investigate. Walker joins forces with a detective who really wants to make a difference. He blew his first chance by making a bad decision ... he wants to help take a re-look at this case and keep his fingers crossed that this will put him in the spotlight... this time for a good reason. Walker is also sort-of working under his former boss, who's been brought back as a consultant. You just never can tell what you'll get when these three put their heads together. It's chock full of action ... suspenseful ... and filled with wise-cracking humor. The characters are finely drawn and I enjoyed how they maneuvered their way to work together. The ending came fast and furious and was unexpected. Many thanks to the author / Macmillan-Tor / Forge Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction.
