The Como Falcon (Ali Falco, #1)

In this pulse-pounding international mystery novel by Amazon 2-million copy bestselling author Jeff Carson, Detective Ali Falco is on a collision course with a vicious killer lying in wait among the ancient streets of Como, Italy.

Ali Falco longs to prove her mettle as a Polizia di Stato detective, but it’s tough with the Carabinieri taking over any high-profile cases, and the politics inside her department pushing her to the fringes of any action that pops up. So when a dead body emerges from the limestone soil above Lake Como—a young woman who’s been missing for years—Ali is resigned to read about it in the local paper.

Soon after, death strikes again, this time much closer, and no rank or politics can push her out of involvement with this one, because the deceased is her father.

They were tightly bonded until her mother’s death thrust a divide between them. It’s been ten years since she’s spoken to him, and it would have been the rest of her life had he lived, but something about her father’s death doesn’t look right. It looks like murder. And hate him or not, he’s family, and she’s a sworn detective.

With the help of an Interpol investigator named Marco, an intriguing man with a complicated past himself, Ali sets aside the pain of her history and looks into the last decade of her father’s life in order to shed light on his death, revealing truths that are more shocking than than she could have imagined.

With each detail uncovered, Ali and Marco draw closer to unraveling a web of disturbing lies, and to an unseen enemy that will do anything it takes to remain hidden, one that will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of the past in the past, and Ali in the dark. Forever.
