Meet Michael McCabe:
Single Father. Homicide Cop. A Murderer’s Worst Enemy.
 |
From a formidable new voice in suspense fiction comes an edge-of-the-seat story about a homicide detective on the trail of a killer who slays with exacting precision, and who harbors a terrifying motive. “This crackling debut from a former New York advertising man packs a terrific punch, and comes complete with pace and panache. Taut, deft, and with a delicate sense of place, this is supremely accomplished storytelling.” – The Daily Mail (UK) “Pick of The Week” -Boston Globe “A suspenseful police procedural whirling around a character who has the brains, courage and human concern to be the reader’s hero from start to finish. Even less often does a writer create characters as well-drawn and centered as Hayman gives us with his Portland Police Detective Sgt. Mike McCabe, three years into life in his new city.” -The Portland Press Herald |

“Hayman’s pacing is perfect. An unsettling thriller, not because Portland and the state have a history of madmen killing strangers on a rampage. What’s frightening is that Hayman makes it seem possible, even probable.” -The Bangor Daily News “A stunning debut that gripped me from first page to last. A thriller of a thriller.” -Tess Gerritsen, New York Times Best Selling Author of Ice Cold Order The Cutting now from Amazon | Amazon UK | BN.com | IndieBound Borders |

is the second Mike McCabe book from James Hayman. Brilliant, beautiful and ambitious, Portland attorney Lainie Goff seemed to have it all. Until one cold night in the coldest winter the city had ever known, the dark secret of an abused childhood came crashing back and Lainie died for another’s sins.
