Publisher's summary

A newbie Seattle detective gets an education in corruption in a short story that explores Detective Castigliano’s origins in the Seattle PD by Robert Dugoni, the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series.

His old life in the rearview, Del Castigliano has left Wisconsin to work homicide for the Seattle PD. Breaking him in is veteran detective Moss Gunderson, and he’s handing Del a big catch: the bodies of two unidentified men fished from Lake Union. It’s a major opportunity for the new detective, and Del runs with it, chasing every lead - to every dead end. Despite the help of another section rookie, Vic Fazzio, Del is going nowhere fast. Until one shotgun theory looks to be dead right: the victims are casualties of a drug smuggling operation. But critical information is missing - or purposely hidden. It’s forcing Del into a crisis of character and duty that not even the people he trusts can help him resolve.

More Please?

I have always been a fan of Del and Faz. I hope this short story means Robert Dugoni is testing the waters for a spin off of the Tracy Crosswhite series. I would love to hear how this plays out with Moss (sp?) and would love to read about further cases Del and Faz get to investigate. I enjoyed this and look forward to more.

The Last Line

This is a short quick book. It's a great story. But it has nothing to do with Stacy Cross white. it does have to do with some of the other people earlier in there career. I wished it ended different. When Del confronted Castiligno he should have had a recorder or someone hid watching and listening. He (Del) did some good detective work. Robert Dugoni does an excellent job narrating this book. He also wrote it. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you

Nice short story. Makes me want to hear more but also tells me a lot about the characters. Author is a good narrator.

Robert Dugoni Do It Again!

This book is self narrated by the author and it is a gem. I don’t know why he doesn’t narrate more of his own books. I thoroughly enjoyed the mini story especially since I am a Crosswhite follower. I look forward to every new adventure. I will consider it one of my 2021 preChristmas gifts. Thank you Robert Dugoni

Good story but hated the ending

Good story, liked characters but I hate that kind of ending. Hope to see Del and Farzio in future with a better ending.

Leave the narration to the professionals, please.

This was a great short story and really set the background for Faz and Del - a good tie in with book 9 of the Tracy Crosswhite series. Mr. Dugoni is a great writer.
