The Good and the Dead

By Joseph Decker

The Good and the Dead brings you into a world of killers, cops, and the men who pull strings to keep both sides in business. John Harden stumbled into contract killing while trying to erase the memories of his childhood. Meryl Gamble is a natural born killer uncomfortable with her own talents. David Tate is a veteran police officer finally moving up the ladder after spending years stifling his own career. Bobby Parker is an ambitious rookie cop, street smart and a political animal. Mobster Carmine Tropani runs the city, while "legitimate" businessman Roland Lambert waits in the wings for his turn at the helm. The lives of these characters and others intersect as the line between good and evil becomes just another shade of gray in a world where nothing is black and white. Justice is doled out with bullets and blades. Morally plagued assassins work for morally bankrupt men. Police officers bend the rules in the name of doing the right thing. Lovers struggle with attachments to partners they should run away from, yet can't help but stand by. The first of a series, The Good and the Dead is a sprawling piece of crime fiction...and just a taste of what's to come.
