Private Investigator Jacob Diamond and San Francisco Detective Sergeant Roxton Johnson are famous for not getting along. Cats and dogs. Oil and water. Liston and Ali. Jake and Rocky.
When an assistant district attorney is murdered in his high-rise apartment building, and Johnson suspects his lieutenant may have something to do with it, he can think of no one else to turn to for help--no one he can trust--except Jake Diamond.
If the mismatched duo can avoid stepping on each other's toes long enough--they may be able to stop circling the runway and land on the villain's doorstep. Lieutenant Laura Lopez, Detective Ray Boyle, Joey Clams, Vinnie Strings and Darlene Roman are all back in the first new Jake Diamond escapade since Counting to Infinity .
In CIRCLING THE RUNWAY, J.L. Abramo is shooting at us again--and he's doing it from every shadow and hidden doorway, from every window and passing car. And damned if every bullet doesn't hit its mark perfectly. --Trey Barker, author of Death is Not Forever and Exit Blood
J.L. Abramo's CIRCLING THE RUNWAY takes up where Black Mask boys like Hammett, Gardner, and Carroll John Daly left off. It's loaded with tough guys and hard-boiled action--emphasis on the hard. ?--David Housewright, Edgar Award-winning author of Unidentified Woman #15 ?
