Synopsis

Early on a Monday morning, a group of first responders are standing around a burned-out car by the waterfront. They’re waiting for the detectives to arrive to show them what they’ve found. A well-seasoned crime reporter also just happens to be in the area. Within minutes of arriving, Detective Mike O’Shea identifies the charred remains in the car as those of a woman he’s known for years, while the reporter recognizes Mike’s new partner as someone she’s had numerous dealings with in the past. As Mike gets closer to uncovering the truth about the body in the car while trying to protect his new partner, the stakes get higher, tempers flare, and rumors fly. Something’s got to give. Or is it already too late?

In the fourth book of The Mike O’Shea Series, Blind Spot brings the reader into a world of murder, deceit, and betrayal. No one is left unscathed in this searing police procedural that follows Detective Mike O’Shea, an inner-city cop fighting an uphill battle against crime, corruption, and his own human frailties.
