Dead End Game (Lt. Joe Dante Series Book 7)

Acclaimed for his authentic Precinct novels, author Christopher Newman presents another thriller starring Detective Lieutenant Joe Dante and his partner, Jumbo Richardson, of the NYPD.

As powerful as a nine-millimeter and as dramatic as the New York skyline, Dead End Game is a hard-hitting tale of life on the force—and death on the streets...

When a major-league pitcher is found dead of an overdose just before the last game of the league playoffs, the first assumption is suicide. Joe Dante and Jumbo Richardson think otherwise. And their investigation reveals that behind the all-American game lies a world of dirty money and deceit—and a cast of suspects who don't hesitate to play hardball.
