Red Hook
Published by Open Road Media
Brooklyn is a tough, fascinating borough, and Jack Leightner is a detective to match. World weary, troubled, and occasionally brilliant, he loves his work in the elite Brooklyn South Homicide Task Force, which forces him to explore the dangerous underbelly of a rapidly gentrifying borough.
In the Edgar Award–nominated Red Hook, a body found in the noxious Gowanus Canal draws Leightner back to the waterfront neighborhood of his youth, an industrial ghost town that he has spent his life trying to escape. The Graving Dock sees him return again to the waterfront, where a small coffin drifts near a recreational pier. In Neptune Avenue, a serial killer stalks the prostitutes of Crown Heights while Leightner investigates the death of a friend who ran afoul of the Russian gangsters of Brighton Beach. And in the most recent book in the series, The Ninth Step, a strange visitor forces Leightner to confront the darkest moment of his life and finally learn the truth about the man who murdered his brother.
