Fractured

An old friend. A new case to solve. And missing college kids to find.

The call comes at 7:07 on the seventh day of the seventh month. Private investigator Cooper Malone immediately recognizes the voice of a man who had a star on his shoulder when Coop was in the army, his mentor, General John Overby.

Now retired, the general needs Coop's help. On the Fourth of July, his college-aged granddaughter and two of her friends went missing from a Key Largo beach. Not that the cops are too interested. The same evening, a murder took place on the same beach. Three college girls who may have gone partying are not high on their list of priorities.

Coop takes the case. Not everyone is on board. Two other families are involved. Tempers flare early and often. That won't stop Coop from doing whatever it takes to help the man to whom he owes much of his career. The prospect of failure haunts him. He must find the missing women before it's too late.

From the author of Blunt Force comes a second novel in the Cooper Malone series.

Fans of James Patterson and Lee Child are sure to love the grit Fractured brings in this hard-boiled mystery.
