Description

A retired Scotland Yard Inspector races to prove the innocence of his daughter's policeman fiance in this fast-paced and expertly crafted whodunnit from 'marvellous storyteller' (Michael Koryta) Scott Shepherd. When NYPD Detective John Frankel's ex-wife is discovered murdered in his Manhattan apartment, he instantly becomes the prime suspect. Frankel's gun is linked to the fatal bullet, he had a motive, and he flees the city, all of which convinces his colleagues of his guilt. But Frankel's bride-to-be, Rachel, and her father, Austin Grant, a former Scotland Yard detective in London, are certain of his innocence. So with the police under orders to use whatever force necessary to apprehend Frankel, the duo will have to act fast to save him. The relentless manhunt takes them from the tropical shores of Hawaii to the woods of northern Maine. And as the game of cat-and-mouse unfurls, so too does a complex murder plot with multiple victims... Reviews for Should I Fall: 'Riveting and fast-paced. Readers will be hooked on the twisting story.' Library Journal 'Shepherd masterfully blends crime fiction and domestic suspense in this taut, character driven sequel that leaves us wanting more!' Wendy Walker 'Tense and twist-filled, but also genuinely warm-hearted, filled with engaging characters. A pleasure to read.' Brian Freeman
