Discover a world where courage battles corruption, and one detective’s unwavering spirit might just be enough to restore justice in Marcus Cooper: In the Shadows.
Marcus Cooper: In the Shadows marks the return of the shrewd Detective Cooper, first introduced in Kindness of a Stranger. For fans of intricate mysteries with a touch of inspiration, Cooper’s latest case promises a gripping journey into the heart of a shattered community, as he confronts not just a brutal crime, but a corrupt system determined to bury the truth. This gripping crime novel plunges readers into the depths of human darkness, as Detective Cooper is summoned to the Rhodes family massacre in their opulent suburban home. With no forced entry and a missing murder weapon, the scene presents a perplexing challenge. But as Cooper digs deeper, the case takes a dangerous turn. Evidence points toward a disturbing sex trafficking ring that reaches into the highest echelons of local power. Just as Cooper uncovers critical leads, he’s abruptly suspended from the case, being falsely accused of leaking information to the press. A calculated cover-up to protect corrupt officials, his official removal from the case hopes to bury the truth. Refusing to be silenced, Cooper continues his investigation from the shadows, working with his trusted partner, who remains on the active case. Together, they navigate a treacherous landscape of lies and betrayals, where witnesses are continually silenced or killed. With death surrounding him, Cooper tries to keep his little sister, the local reporter, from digging too deep into the scandal and becoming the next casualty. With the odds stacked against him and the strong political forces aligned against justice seeming insurmountable, can Cooper succeed in bringing the truth to light before another death, or will the shadows he’s stalking from end up consuming him?
