Chicago Blue




Chicago is under attack. And Detective Billy Harney is running out of time to stop a killer who is always one step ahead in this unputdownable new detective thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author.

Chicago has never needed its police force more.

The mayor and governor have been shot. A killer is targeting police officers. The city is gripped by fear.

Detective Billy Harney and his twin sister Patti come from one of Chicago’s most legendary police families. They know that every crime leaves a trail.

Until now.

As Billy and his Special Operations team race to stop the violence, every investigation points to the wrong suspect. Someone is manipulating the evidence - turning the city’s own justice system against itself.

To catch a killer who is rewriting the rules, Billy will have to rely on the oldest weapon a detective has: instinct.
