The Hamilton Heights Massacre: From the Files of the St. Louis Police Homicide Division (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798192156377)

Eight men are dead. The killers are gone. And the evidence tells a far more complicated story than anyone expected.

A Friday-night poker game in St. Louis ends in a storm of gunfire, leaving eight bodies inside a Hamilton Heights home. What first appears to be a robbery gone violently wrong soon reveals something more calculated: an unlocked door, a missing security camera, stolen money-and signs that one of the victims may have helped the killers get inside.

Detective Sergeant Mick Callahan and Detective Darius Coleman are assigned to unravel the massacre. Working alongside an experienced homicide team, they must reconstruct a chaotic exchange involving multiple shooters, missing weapons, conflicting accounts, and forensic evidence that challenges their earliest assumptions.

As detectives trace a wounded gunman, a gray Nissan, and a trail of secret communications, three suspects begin to emerge. But identifying who entered the house is only the beginning. To bring justice to eight grieving families, the investigators must determine who planned the robbery, who pulled each trigger, and who deliberately fired the final shots after the resistance had ended.

Meticulously detailed and grounded in authentic investigative procedure, The Hamilton Heights Massacre is a gripping police procedural about truth, accountability, and the difficult reality that victims and offenders do not always fit neatly into separate categories.
