Cross Checking: A Parker Hanson mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991643948)

A search for hidden treasure linked to a decades-old crime. A race against time to stop a fanatical church leader's murderous plot. A well-educated mob boss who stands in the way of one of these goals-and could be the key to achieving the other.

In CROSS CHECKING, book 2 of the Parker Hanson mystery series, former journalist turned private investigator Parker Hanson and Amalia Velasquez, his ex-Army Ranger neighbor, are back with not one but two major mysteries to solve.

When they aren't trying to stop what they fear might be a large-scale assault, Parker and Amalia find themselves looking for a stolen painting that could help solve a 35-year-old crime.

Juggling two critical cases with far-reaching implications will require them to summon every ounce of skill and resolve they possess. And when Parker is faced with a moral dilemma that could determine the fate of hundreds of people, how will he respond?

Featuring humor, pulse-pounding suspense, and plenty of hockey and pop culture references, this crime thriller set in New Hampshire from veteran journalist Dennis Pierce will keep readers engrossed until the very last page. If you're a fan of Robert B. Parker's Spenser series or other clever and relatable detectives, you won't want to miss this book.
