Perfect for you if...

You love procedural crime fiction with real police work and gritty Portland atmosphere, not just shootouts and car chases.
You're drawn to stories where the truth is messier than the headlines, and good cops face impossible choices.
You've read the first two Byron books or you're looking for a series with a detective who actually feels like a detective.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your mysteries solved in 200 pages with neat endings and no lingering moral questions.
You want fast-paced action throughout. This is methodical investigation work with political undertones, not constant thrills.
You're looking for a standalone. This is book three and the earlier novels add depth to who Byron is.

About this book

Detective Sergeant John Byron faces his greatest challenge when a popular high school senior is shot by police following a late-night robbery. The officer's actions are immediately questioned, and chaos erupts amid community protests, political pressure, department leaks, and reluctant witnesses. Byron and his team must work quickly to uncover missing pieces of the case. When an attempt is made on the officer's life, Byron intensifies his investigation, risking everything to find answers. He must determine whether the attack is retribution or something more sinister. The search for truth may demand a price Byron cannot afford. This is the third book in the Detective Byron series. The novel won the Silver Falchion Award for Best Procedural, received an Agatha Award nomination for Best Contemporary Novel, and a Maine Literary Award nomination for Best Crime Fiction.
