Description

Lefty Award finalist and a top pick by Bookreporter for Best Mysteries of 2017

Rick Cahill can’t escape his past—or his father’s

Rick Cahill has long feared the truth about his own blood—the blood of his father coursing through his veins.

When a long-hidden safe unlocks clues about why his father was kicked off the police force twenty-seven years ago and then spiraled into an early drunken death, Rick determines to find the truth even if it proves the one thing he’s always feared.

But as he grapples with his father’s past, the woman he still loves pleads with him to find out if her husband is having an affair—or is involved in something much more sinister. Could the truth send her back into Rick’s arms? Would he have a last shot at happiness?

He may never get the chance to find out, as killers who will do anything to protect their secrets lurk in the shadows.

A hard-boiled PI novel for fans of Raymond Chandler, Ross MacDonald, and Dashiell Hammett

DARK FISSURES:

READING FRENZY TOP 20 OF 2016

BOOKREPORTER.COM "Top Pick of 2016"

2017 LEFTY AWARD NOMINEE


 “Matt Coyle's Dark Fissures is a meticulously plotted detective novel with such fast and continuous action that neither the cars nor the gun barrels ever cool down. Go buy it.”
—Thomas Perry, Edgar Award-winning author of the Jane Whitefield Series


"I think I'm falling for Rick Cahill. He's the best kind of down-on-his-luck detective: hard-boiled yet vulnerable; gritty but gallant; somewhat of a screw-up but noble to the core; droll yet all heart. I'll follow him anywhere. Coyle's writing was terrific out of the gate but still manages to get even better."


—Kristi Belcamino, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity award nominee author of the Gabriella Giovanni mystery series 


Dark Fissures is a roller coaster ride through the streets of San Diego. Tightly plotted with memorable characters. An outstanding read!”


 C. J. Box, New York Times best-selling author of the Joe Pickett novels



“Satisfying hard-boiled adventure”


 


 Publishers Weekly


 


“Matt Coyle has done it again.”


—    La Jolla Village News


 


“Private Investigator Rick Cahill fears the next knock on his door will be a cop holding a warrant for his arrest. For murder. La Jolla Chief of Police Tony Moretti is convinced Rick killed a missing person. No body has been found, but the evidence that’s piling up says murder and it all points to Rick. With Moretti on his tail and the bank about to foreclose on his house, Rick takes a paying case that will stave off the bank, but pits him against Moretti and the La Jolla Police Department.”
San Francisco Book Review


 

"Each installment sets the hardboiled thriller bar higher, making Dark Fissures my number one Top Pick for 2016."
