False Positive: A Novel (Detective Cooper Devereaux Book 1)

For fans of Craig Johnson and James Lee Burkeâ€”False Positive follows up the powerful punch of Andrew Grantâ€™s novel RUN with a staggering second dose of thrills and suspense that is just as smart, atmospheric, and soul-searing.
Â
Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies for his luxe lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most cops havenâ€™t lived the kind of life he hasâ€”starting out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop saviorâ€”and most donâ€™t use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, whoâ€™s fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice when theyâ€™re partnered on a case that will test them both beyond their direst nightmares.
Â
A seven-year-old boy has disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But the more Devereaux digs into the missing childâ€™s background, the more he discovers about his own, eventually shaking loose a series of harrowing truthsâ€”about bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two damaged detectives have in common with the innocent victim theyâ€™re so desperate to save. This twisty page-turnerâ€”the debut of the Detective Cooper Devereaux seriesâ€”hurtles at a mile a minute through an action-packed search for a missing child, culminating in an ending that no reader will see coming.
