Fall of the Blade

Serial killers make horrible neighbours

Detective Temple, sidelined by a crazy woman with a butcher knife, is forced to do something he hates...

... stay at home.

Then a young woman is murdered just up the road from his house.

Temple can't help himself. While still on medical leave he launches a rogue investigation and discovers a predator is moving from one killing ground to the next and...

... he's headed straight for him.

Like the savage wound in his side, the list of victims tortures Temple. He enlists the help of an unlikely civilian ally. A walking computer, who instead of counting cards at a black jack table, tracks the crimes of a monster.

When they learn of his vigilante justice crusade, Temple's superiors question the detective's fitness for the job. He's in danger of getting kicked out of homicide. Kicked off the police force all together. To save himself, all he has to do is play by the rules.

But Temple was never one to play by the rules.

Especially when they might stop him from catching a killer.

Fall of the Blade is the third thrilling installment in the John Temple Mystery series. If you like Harry Bosch and the boys from the 87 Precinct but want a splash of Dirty Harry mixed in, you'll love Warren Court's latest novel.
