Synopsis: From the coauthor of the &“excellent&” Mr. and Mrs. North series: When a columnist is shot, NYC detective Nathan Shapiro must find out who wanted to bury the lead (The New Yorker). Nathan Shapiro might be the gloomiest member of Manhattan&’s finest, but that doesn&’t stop the dour detective from getting the job done when the going gets tough . . . Über-conservative political columnist Roger Claye has been killed with a bullet to the head in his own office at the far-right rag, the Sentinel. As Det. Lt. Nathan Shapiro and Det. Anthony &“Tony&” Cook get the scoop on their victim, they aren&’t surprised to learn that he rubbed plenty of people the wrong way with his extreme views and racist diatribes. Although it&’s possible the murder was not politically motivated, it seems much more likely someone hated Claye&’s opinions enough to want him dead. If that&’s the case, it&’s up to Shapiro and Cook to figure out who decided to silence the bigot with extreme prejudice. A Streak of Light is the 9th book in the Nathan Shapiro Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
