Official synopsis Publisher
From abandoned subterranean gold mines to the towers of the tallest skyscrapers …
The case had stunned the city of Charlotte, North Carolina: the body of environmental engineer Palmer Giron was found hanging from a bungee cord in a public park. Then, nothing. No leads and no developments.
Enter elite private investigator Dom Mundy, who takes on the cold case with no idea of the twists and turns the trail will take.
In addition to his usual team-including a former Yakuza named Deuce, a French cat burglar called Franco, and Hector, an ex-gunrunner from Cuba-Dom enlists the help of Angie Crete, a Coast Guard investigator who began a downward spiral when she lost two team members on a failed operation. Not only does Dom think Angie can help him solve the case, but he hopes he can help her decide to put away the vodka and self-loathing in the process.
The story follows Dom and Angie as they dig for answers in and around Charlotte. Some of the diverse cast of supporting characters include Palmer’s sometime girlfriend and her drug-dealing cousin, a one-time-friend-turned-business-rival with a grudge, two rich real estate developers eager to outdo each other, and an Italian grandmother who makes a mean cannoli and drives like she’s in NASCAR.
There’s no shortage of suspects in The Skyscraper Killers, and it will take all the tenacity, ingenuity, and sheer guts Dom and his team can summon up to sort the good guys from the bad guys.
