Jack Rios - The Complete Case Files

New York. Los Angeles. A city never runs out of things to hide.Jack Rios reads a crime scene the way he reads a poker hand - patiently, without flinching, waiting for the tell that gives everything away. A former LAPD detective turned NYPD homicide investigator turned, for a time, a man who worked without a badge at all, Rios has spent a career watching the wealthy, the desperate, and the merely unlucky lie to him in every register a city can produce.He has an informant who trusts him more than he trusts anyone else. A lawyer he can't quite stay away from and can't quite call anything simple. A bar with his name on a chair and a bartender who pours before he's asked. And in every case, a version of the same truth: nobody kills cleanly, and nobody gets away with it for the reason they think they will.
