Among The Shadows

A murder investigation drags a troubled cop into dangerous waters in this mystery series debut. "A first-rate novel. Suspenseful and highly entertaining." —Gayle Lynds, New York Times–bestselling author Fall in Portland, Maine usually arrives as a welcome respite from summer's sweltering temperatures and, with the tourists gone, a return to normal life—usually. But when a retired cop is murdered, things heat up quickly, setting the city on edge. Detective Sergeant John Byron, a second-generation cop, is tasked with investigating the case—at the very moment his life is unraveling. On the outs with his department's upper echelon, separated from his wife, and feeling the strong pull of the bottle, Byron remains all business as he tries to solve the murder of one of their own. And when another ex-Portland PD officer dies under suspicious circumstances, he quickly realizes there's much more to these cases than meets the eye. The closer Byron gets to the truth, the greater the danger for him and his fellow detectives. This taut, atmospheric thriller will appeal to fans of Michael Connelly and John Sandford. "Bruce Robert Coffin knows cops—how they talk, how they act, how they think—and he deploys that knowledge to devastating effect in Among the Shadows. A tense, twisty tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge, it heralds the arrival of a powerful new voice in crime fiction." —Chris Holm, author of The Killing Kind "The best debut I've read in ages, filled with suspense, great writing, a perfectly realized setting . . .and an intriguing main character. Detective John Byron promises to become a breakout favorite among readers of crime fiction. He's already one of mine." —Paul Doiron, author of Widowmaker
