The Con Man (87th Precinct Mysteries)
A bitterly cold night offers up a body turned blue€"not frozen, but swinging from a rope in a dank basement. The dead teen seems like a clear case of suicide, but Detective Steve Carella and Lieutenant Peter Byrnes find a few facts out of place, and an autopsy confirms their suspicions. The boy hadn€t hung himself but OD€d on heroin before an unknown companion strung him up to hide the true cause of death. The revelation dredges up enough muck to muddy the waters of what should€ve been an open-and-shut case. To find the answers to a life gone off the rails, Carella and Byrnes face a deep slog into the community of users and pushers€"but a grim phone calls discloses that very community already has its claws in a cop€s son. A new pusher is staking a claim right under the 87th Precinct€s noses, and it€s up to Carella and Byrnes to snag the viper before it poisons their whole lives.
