Summary
In this explosive thriller of bad choices and dark crimes， Detective Levine knew his transfer was a punishment—but he had no idea just how bad it would get。
Cooper， Nebraska， is forgettable and forgotten， a town you’d only stumble into if you’d taken a seriously wrong turn。 Like Detective Thomas Levine’s career has。 But when a young woman is found lying in the snow， choked to death， her eyes gouged out， the disgraced detective is Cooper’s only hope for restoring peace and justice。
For Levine， still grieving and guilt-ridden over the death of his girlfriend， his so-called “transfer” from the big city to this grubby backwater has always felt like a punishment。 And when his irascible new partner shoots their prime suspect using Levine’s gun， all hope of redemption is shattered。 With the case in chaos， and both blackmail and a violent drug cartel to contend with， he finds himself in a world of trouble。
It gets worse。 The real killer is still out there， and he’s got plans for Detective Levine。 And Cooper may just be the perfect place to get away with murder。

No， just no。 This book is terrible。 I received this book as part of Amazon's First Reads and I was intrigued by the premise， a new-to-town detective immediately embroiled in a horrible crime and small town issues。 Almost immediately the book goes from interesting to bad。 The writing style is almost impossible to follow even if you are paying very close attention。 There is no clear genre。 It felt overly edited with huge plot holes and massive missing pieces of information。 The narration is not co No， just no。 This book is terrible。 I received this book as part of Amazon's First Reads and I was intrigued by the premise， a new-to-town detective immediately embroiled in a horrible crime and small town issues。 Almost immediately the book goes from interesting to bad。 The writing style is almost impossible to follow even if you are paying very close attention。 There is no clear genre。 It felt overly edited with huge plot holes and massive missing pieces of information。 The narration is not consistent。 The characters are not likeable and rarely even believable。 It was if the author took plots from 14 different Law and Order episodes and jammed them all together and THEN tried to make it a psychological thriller。 Do yourself a favor and skip this one。 I sure wish I had！ The good reviews must have been purchased。 。。。more

Very dark but very good。A fresh approach to police drama。 I still cannot figure out why a Scots attorney chose Nowhere， Nebraska for his setting but it works。 Well worth the time to read。

Darker and grittier than expectedHow could a dirty cop be the best person in Cooper？ The situation seems to change every chapter。 Corruption is normal。 Hard life stories abound。 I usually have a feel for how it ends 80% through the book; this time I was so wrong。

A must read， and look forward to more of his works。 Well done。 Well done Tariq， As a new struggling author， I was glad I found this book。 The concept may not have been in my opinion the type of story I would choose but As a new struggling author， I was glad I found his book。 The concept may not have been in my opinion the type of story I would seek out。 But， the review I read pushed my curiosity and when I started it flowed so fast ，I was already nearing the end。 A must read， and look forward to A must read， and look forward to more of his works。 Well done。 Well done Tariq， As a new struggling author， I was glad I found this book。 The concept may not have been in my opinion the type of story I would choose but As a new struggling author， I was glad I found his book。 The concept may not have been in my opinion the type of story I would seek out。 But， the review I read pushed my curiosity and when I started it flowed so fast ，I was already nearing the end。 A must read， and look forward to more of his works。 Well done。 Well done Tariq， 。。。more

Stay Alert！Hard to find a book during 'covid boredom' that doesn't read like all written off of same template。 So I start many books and give up。。。。 not this one。 Unique writing style， plot twists and turns。。。 and I'm not even sure who is the hero as all deeply flawed。 Good book for chess players to figure out the plot moves as you read along？ Stay Alert！Hard to find a book during 'covid boredom' that doesn't read like all written off of same template。 So I start many books and give up。。。。 not this one。 Unique writing style， plot twists and turns。。。 and I'm not even sure who is the hero as all deeply flawed。 Good book for chess players to figure out the plot moves as you read along？ 。。。more

Disturbing and beautifulThomas Harris meets Ray Bradbury。 Dark and disturbing but exquisitely crafted。 I feel like I need to immediately read something else to get this one out of my head。 This genre is not for me but if it was， wow， I think he will be a bestseller。 Really amazing first novel。
