One Step Ahead: A Charlie Hardwick Thriller (Hardwick #2)

By Tom Meitner

Charlie Hardwick knows who killed his partner.

Now he has to prove it without losing his badge, his freedom, or the woman he just talked into helping him do this off the books.

Bobby Walsh is the one who pulled the trigger sixteen years ago. The conspiracy that paid him is bigger than Walsh, bigger than the Chicago PD, and apparently big enough to put a federal agent on Charlie's doorstep with one job: keep Hardwick away from the truth.

So Charlie does what he was always going to do. He works it on the side. New murder cases land on his desk every week (a hunter shot three times in the back, a public execution with a hundred witnesses and not one who'll talk, a string of suicides that don't add up), and every case becomes another reason to stay on the job while he digs for the real story.

Then his partner disappears.

One Step Ahead is the second book in the Charlie Hardwick thriller series. Six interconnected murder investigations, a federal agent who knows more than he should, and a partner who's running out of patience with Charlie's habit of going off the books.
