Murder on the Tracks

by Bruce W. Most

Overview

When Joe Stryker, a burned-out, disgraced 1949 Denver street cop, discovers a body on the railroad tracks with a crushed skull and missing hands, he sees his shot at redemption. He believes the body is linked to the murder of his partner two years before, a murder for which Joe blames himself. But seeking redemption can come at a high price. Joe must not only hunt down a ruthless killer but tangle with Denver's wealthy and powerful, a wannabe mobster, and his own police department, at the risk of his career, his marriage--and his life.

Editorial Reviews

What a great read! Murder on the Tracks reimagines Denver as it was in 1949, with the sights, sounds and quirky characters that make the city hum. Bruce Most has served up a clever, engrossing mystery with twists and turns you never see coming but are thrilled when they arrive. ~ Margaret Coel, author of Night of the White Buffalo

Most spins a very good tale, taking you back to a time when police work was done by old-fashioned investigation, knocking on doors, and questioning suspects. The story is well written, the plot strong and exciting. This one will keep you glued to the pages from beginning to end.

I like the way Most writes. His voice is refreshing and unique, like his story, and reminiscent of a simpler time. The plot is full of surprises as poor Joe just can't get a break. You'll be hooked from the very first word.
