The Man in the Wall

The murdered man lay entombed inside a basement wall, the blow flies streaming through the door opened to air out the gray-green reek of decay. For Detective Martin Kinsale of Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, the body isn’t the only thing that stinks. With the list of suspects lengthening by the hour and motives multiplying like a virus, he struggles to gain traction. As he peels back the layers of deceit, he learns that no one—least of all the dead man—is who they appear to be. And then the killer strikes again.
