City Problems

Summary: A moment of violence-a snap judgement-a life changed to the core Ed Runyon bolted from the NYPD after a runaway teen case fell through the cracks and turned into a nightmarish murder. Now, he's learned to bury the rage that consumed him, cope with depression, and enjoy life as a Mifflin County sheriff's detective in rural Ohio. Ed is trying to relax on his day off when Columbus PD Detective Shelly Beckworth comes to Mifflin County in search of a girl who vanished after a pop-up party. The clues are scarce-a few license plates, a phone shattered on the roadside-but the trail leads to Ed's neck of the woods. He tries to shove everything else aside to keep this case from ending in another tragedy, but a cop can't pick and choose which calls to duty he'll answer. Frustrated, Ed watches a happy ending slip beyond sight-this one he cannot run away from. Charging forward, Ed breaks rules and takes risks leading to a bloody confrontation where everything he believes as a cop and every ghost in his head clash-a moment of avenging violence that will ultimately change his life to the core. Perfect for fans of Robert Crais and John Sanford
