False Positive: A Novel (Detective Cooper Devereaux)

For fans of Craig Johnson and James Lee BurkeùFalse Positive follows up the powerful punch of Andrew GrantÆs novel RUN with a staggering second dose of thrills and suspense that is just as smart, atmospheric, and soul-searing. Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies for his luxe lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most cops havenÆt lived the kind of life he hasùstarting out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop saviorùand most donÆt use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, whoÆs fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice when theyÆre partnered on a case that will test them both beyond their direst nightmares. A seven-year-old boy has disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But the more Devereaux digs into the missing childÆs background, the more he discovers about his own, eventually shaking loose a series of harrowing truthsùabout bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two damaged detectives have in common with the innocent victim theyÆre so desperate to save.
