Part of Michael Bennett, book 9.5
First published 2016
A body falls from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The scene suggests suicide until Detective Michael Bennett discovers troubling inconsistencies. The dead man carries ten thousand dollars in cash and bears fingerprints that belong to someone else entirely. Bennett knows immediately that this was murder, not self-destruction. He must uncover who the victim really was and why someone wanted him dead badly enough to stage an elaborate deception. The case pulls Bennett into a web of false identities and hidden motives. As he digs deeper into the mystery, the detective faces mounting pressure to solve a crime where nothing appears as it first seemed. The investigation challenges Bennett to separate truth from carefully constructed lies in a case that tests his skills and determination.
