The Man on the Coffeehouse Floor

De: Gerry Donohue

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Detective Martin Kinsale’s fractious relationship with the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is on its last legs. He’s been blackballed and exiled to the sleepy 2nd District. Then an old man falls dead in front of him. It looks like a heart attack, but Kinsale suspects murder. Knowing that the MPD won’t let him investigate, he strikes out on his own. When he learns that the victim was a child-molester with a 30-year-long trail of victims, an official investigation begins. Kinsale tries to support it, while continuing his own enquiries, fending off an Internal Affairs probe into his serial insubordination, and trying to rekindle his on-again/off-again relationship with Washington Post reporter Trish Lewis. Pursuing the investigation across the decades—facing down families desperate to bury the past and old-money prep schools more concerned about their reputations than their students—he ends up uncovering answers much too close to home.
