4.0
Jack & Liddell are investigating the murder of a deputy prosecutor (Nina) who has ties with Jack's ex wife's fiance, Eric. Jack who is still protective and loves his ex wife is conflicted on some of the evidence. Eric is a notorious womanizer, he lies during the investigation, and leads are pointing his way. Unfortunately more murders occur and are haphazardly linked with doubt, motive, political maneuverings, & something that can't quite put his finger on. Shocking attempts to kill those closest to Jack has him partnered with someone new who he doesn't trust & also has political ties. It takes all of Jack's ability, cunning, & skills to bring the killers and their handlers to justice.

Murphy and his partner Blanchard are called to investigate the appearance of a head at a dump site in Indiana. More heads are found in Illinois, then other body parts.
We are told the names and background of the killers but it is who they work for that is the mystery.
An enjoyable read.

Another really good book in this series. Jack Murphy is a tough cop. He still loves his ex-wife and is having a hard time as she just announced her engagement to a deputy prosecutor, Eric. During the party Jack is called away to investigate the death of a young woman whose head has been found at the landfill. He later finds out the woman worked at the prosecutor's office and he thinks Eric may be involved. His ex-sister-in-law has just gone to work for the prosecutor's office and he is concerned about her. Other suspects include the top prosecutor and the county attorney. Several other headless corpses are discovered and Jack and his partner Liddell are having a hard time finding a connection.
When Liddell is attacked Jack is told to back off the case and that he has to accept the help of a state police investigator. She helps a bit but Jack doesn't trust her as her uncle is the top prosecutor. The killers are after Jack and anyone who gets keeps them from finishing the job they were hired to do.
The story switches perspectives throughout the book so you see what Jack is thinking, what the killers are thinking and also others. Lots of action, intrigue, a little humor, and a good plot.
The digital edition I had contained some misspellings, left out words and an occasional extra word. Hopefully this was corrected in future editions. Still really enjoyed the book and looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
