Perfect for you if...

  • You love Michael Connelly's Bosch series and want a protagonist who works outside the law to get justice.
  • You're drawn to thrillers with authentic procedural detail, whether that's crime scenes or hospital triage.
  • You appreciate humour and sharp dialogue cutting through gritty, high-stakes investigations.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're squeamish about graphic violence or descriptions of torture and injury.
  • You want a thriller centred on legal procedure rather than a maverick protagonist bending the rules.

About this book

Emergency physician AJ Docker cannot move past the death of a young woman who arrives at Houston's busiest trauma center severely beaten, tortured, and with severed fingertips. She has no identification and dies before he can save her. While the police classify it as homicide, Docker sees unfinished business. Stepping beyond the hospital walls, Docker partners with a streetwise cop and K-9 Banshee to investigate. The investigation leads through tattoo parlors, gang territory, and encounters with dangerous criminals who eliminate witnesses. Docker risks both his career and his life to discover what happened to the woman and why. The novel combines emergency room drama with criminal investigation, following Docker as he pursues the truth in a dangerous underworld. This is the first book in the AJ Docker and Banshee Thrillers series.
