The Drill Is Death (The Nathan Shapiro Mysteries #3)

Synopsis

From the authors of the &“excellent&” Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries: NYC detective Nathan Shapiro must solve the case of a dead co-ed and an absent teacher (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 . . . Englishman Reginald Grant readily admits that the differences between British and American culture sometimes elude him. Unfortunately, a gruesome discovery soon forces the respected poet and visiting professor to deal with an institution he has little knowledge of: the New York City Police Department. After answering questions about the young woman he found stabbed to death in the back of a cab, Grant leaves the station and considers his part in the unfortunate affair over. But when two men who claim to be with the police want to ask him a few more questions—and promptly take him hostage—Grant discovers his troubles are just beginning . . . Det. Nathan Shapiro thought the poet seemed truthful when he claimed not to know the victim, but now it&’s major news that Reginald Grant was actually the girl&’s teacher—and the man himself is missing. With a blunder to make up for, Shapiro must do his best to bring everything to a justifiable end. But there&’s more to this story than what&’s in the headlines . . . The Drill Is Death is the 3rd book in the Nathan Shapiro Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
