End of Watch

The phone rings twice before his former colleague's voice comes through: 'I'm at a location that looks like a murder-suicide. Could you take a look? Bring your partner if she's free...' Retired Detective Bill Hodges now operates a small investigation agency, Finders Keepers, alongside Holly Gibney. Their paths crossed after the infamous 'Mercedes Massacre' where a crowd was deliberately attacked by the malevolent Brady Hartsfield. Brady, currently in a vegetative state, is confined to Room 217 at the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic. However, appearances can be deceiving: evidence indicates Brady might be conscious and wielding sinister new abilities, enabling him to cause chaos without leaving his hospital bed.

When Bill and Holly are summoned to probe a suicide linked to the Mercedes Massacre, they are thrust into a perilous situation, endangering their lives and those of Bill's brave young associate Jerome Robinson and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield has returned with vengeance on his mind, targeting not just Hodges and his allies, but an entire city. Time moves in unforeseen ways as the tension mounts.

This novel, End of Watch, stands alone with its gripping suspense, while also serving as the chilling conclusion to the Hodges trilogy. It elevates the series to remarkable new heights.
