Once a Detective (A Dan Burnett Private Detective Mystery/Thiller, #1)

***Global Book Award Golg Medal Winner***

Justice doesn't retire. It just gets personal.

Meet Dan Burnett—a former NYPD detective forced into early retirement, now solving the cases others walk away from.

The series opener is Once a Detective... where you're introduced to Dan and the supporting cast, including his daughter, Hannah, and the woman at the center of the story, Mia, a beautiful widow whose brother was murdered two years ago. After the police have given up, it's now up to Dan to find the murderer.

From high-level Police corruption, mob murders, and serial killers, Dan's investigations dig deep into the secrets people fight to keep buried.

Set in and around Westchester County, NY, each fast-paced mystery blends gritty suspense, emotional stakes, and characters who won't go without a fight. Whether he's tracking a killer across state lines or confronting betrayal close to home, Dan brings experience, instinct, and heart to every case.

Each book in the series stands alone, with recurring characters and evolving relationships. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Crais,
