Bronx Requiem: A Detective Jack Kenny Mystery

by John Roe, Reed Farrel Coleman

Overview

The New York Times—bestselling crime writer teams up with a retired detective to deliver this raw tale of murder and corruption among the NYPD.
 
Born into a family of Irish Catholic cops, veteran NYPD detective Jack Kenny knows that good policing requires little more than a badge, a revolver, and some street smarts. Kenny's partner, the young and beautiful Carmen Romero, believes in catching today's toughest criminals with technological savvy. But now they're both about to be put to the test as a grisly cold case suddenly draws heat on their fellow officers.
 
When a new witness to the thirty-year-old "Bronx Barber" murder comes forward, Kenny and Romero discover that the brutal slashing of a prostitute is connected to an NYPD stag party gone wild. Suddenly, Jack's long-deceased first partner is implicated in the crime. With pressure escalating and time running out, their frantic search for truth will put their careers, reputations, and lives at stake. Along the way, they'll learn just how strong the ties that bind New York's Finest really are.
