ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As always in my writing endeavors, I want to thank my wife, Gina, and her continued support and encouragement. She makes my books better by simply letting me bounce ideas off of her or reading and making suggestions. I always think afterward that her insight has made the book better. And, of course, sometimes she provides the praise I need to keep at the laborious task of editing and re-editing and re-editing.
Thank you to my reading Squad, who provided excellent feedback and have helped make the series as success. I really appreciate your efforts!

Other Books by Patrick Kanouse
The Shattered Bull
The murder of a prominent politician with an unsavory past. A detective grieving the loss of his wife.
As Detective Drexel Pierce struggles to overcome the mysterious death of his wife, the murder of a city alderman, Hal “the Bull” Nye, and its investigation threatens Pierce’s career. Found in his secure high-rise condominium, with no obvious mechanism of death, what killed the Bull may be as mysterious as who killed him. The lone clue that could expose the killer is a cryptic message burned into a desk. While Drexel’s commander pushes to arrest the Bull’s young girlfriend to please the politicians and media, he seeks out the truth, following a trail of mobsters, rivals, and pasts best forgotten. As the machinery of investigation closes in on the Bull’s young girlfriend, Drexel risks it all to save her and save his illusions of a society that believes in truth.
