Fresh Kill

The Jimmy McSwain Files, Book 6

By: Adam Carpenter

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Jimmy McSwain returns, but the question lingers: Now that he has finally solved the 15-year-old murder of his NYPD cop father, Joseph, who has he become?

Busy concentrating on family issues, Jimmy hasn't taken a new case in nearly three months, and when a call comes in from Philip Connelly, who wants proof that his wife, Myra, is cheating, Jimmy is torn. Take the case or say no. He rejects it, only to learn a week later that Philip has been found dead in a park on Staten Island. The police believe it was suicide, but Myra - a self-admitted adulteress - is convinced he was murdered. Jimmy agrees to take the case. But it seems his decision to rejoin the world has also affected the other areas of his life: His sister is facing a health crisis, an old friend from his father's past has resurfaced, and his lover, Captain Francis X. Frisano, is working a difficult case in Chelsea where gay men are being attacked.

If that wasn't enough, Jimmy is on the hunt to bring down his new nemesis, the criminal mastermind Mr. Wu-Tin. A fire at one of his warehouses stirs fear in Jimmy that the man is trying to destroy evidence of his crimes. That's when life throws him a twist, and suddenly Jimmy feels that just as he's hoping to find answers, new mysteries emerge about whether the path he's on leads to a fresh start or a fresh kill.

it's so good!

This is one of those series that just flies by because it's so good! It's well written so you feel like these characters become people you know and love!

Good Mystery

Unexpected unhappy ending. Probably for the best. Jimmy the main character is very strong. These stories are so good. Joel Leslie is the best narrator.

I hate this ending

My heart was ripped out in the last few pages of this one and I cannot wait to see where this goes. This book was just as enjoyable as the others with the same great performance but the ending.....

This book broke my heart

I really hope it dosen't take 6 more books for him to find love!
When is the next one?
