A Joe Henderson Detective Novel
Former NYPD. Twenty years in Westfield, New Jersey. And one guy named Kaplan who keeps dragging me into cases I should steer clear of.
Each novel plunges Joe Henderson into a world of secrets, danger, and moral complexity.
Book 1
Kaplan's first case nearly cost Joe Henderson his leg — and did cost him his badge. Caught on the wrong end of a machine gun and tangled up with a Russian femme fatale named Alenia, Joe discovers that some cases leave a mark long after they're closed.
Book 2
Joe didn't need the drama. But Kaplan had other ideas. Thrown headfirst into a new mess involving Alenia and her dearly departed husband Harry, Joe finds himself chasing a mystery he never asked for — and can't walk away from.
Meet the Detective
I was minding my own business when this guy Kaplan walked into my life, dragging trouble behind him like a busted suitcase. I used to wear the shield for the NYPD — blue uniform, bad coffee, the whole nine yards. My wife — now my ex — and I figured we'd had enough of the Big Apple. Westfield, New Jersey, needed a detective, so that's where I hung my hat for twenty years.
Kaplan's got a sixth sense for steering me into cases I should steer clear of. Gene Killers landed me on the wrong end of a machine gun, nearly cost me my leg, and did cost me my badge. Caught up with a Russian femme fatale named Alenia — the kind of woman who makes you forget every lesson you ever learned the hard way. Then Kaplan threw me headfirst into The Vanishing Tattoo, tangled up with Alenia again and her dearly departed husband Harry. I didn't need the drama. But that's the thing about trouble — it always finds me, whether I'm looking for it or not.
