Fresh off six months of work-related medical leave and still reeling from a divorce, Providence Police Detective Sergeant Nathan Press receives a cryptic letter from Riley Talbert, a prominent attorney friend, imploring that they meet. Included in Talbert’s message is an ominous warning: Tell no one.
When Talbert fails to show for the meeting and instead washes up dead on a riverbank, Press and his squad of crack detectives are thrust headlong into a murder case that is far bigger than anything they could have ever imagined.
Determined to untangle the knotted clues and solve his friend’s murder, Press unearths the terrible secret at the core of the investigation—a secret that some people will do anything to keep hidden. But if Press is going to expose their evil designs to the light of day and bring Talbert’s killers to justice before more people die, he’ll have to risk more than just his badge. He will have to risk everything, including his life
Dony Jay returns after a several years absence with Murder by Half A Nathan Press Thriller. Dony had written 2 other books both in the Warrior Spy Series. Both of which I enjoyed but Murder By Half seemed different than the other two. I think part of it was Dony had some time to work on his craft. Second, because he himself is a police detective like Nathan Press. You could tell by his writing he had lived some of the experiences Nathan Press did.
Dony artfully sprinkled his knowledge of the police world while slowly giving the reader bits of Nathan’s backstory. Reading Murder By Half it felt as if I was reading about Sherlock Holmes. It is obvious Nathan is highly intelligent. By the end Nathan felt like John McClane.
The Nathan Press Thriller Series will be on my TBR Pile going forward.
Nathan Press is Sherlock Holmes meets John McClane. Watch out Providence bad guys, Nathan Press is back.
I give Dony Jay’s Murder By Half a rating of – Invest In The Hardcover.
