Dead for Life: A Novel

Ethan Black delivers another lightning-paced, darkly compelling novel of suspense featuring NYPD detective Conrad Voort -- in which a tragic error from the past holds the key to stopping an oddly sympathetic killer bent on the worst kind of revenge.

Three more by tonight. Your fault. That's the dire message Conrad Voort receives on his birthday, standing over a dead stranger. With both his career and his life in jeopardy, Voort races against time to hunt down an ingenious killer whose threat has sent the city into a state of panic.

But as more victims fall, Voort realizes that a forgotten incident from his days as a rookie cop may, in fact, be the driving force behind the slayings. For the day's terror is not merely the senseless act of a demented mind, but the impassioned vengeance of a man who has suffered loss beyond endurance. And Conrad Voort is going to pay....

Ethan Black is a pseudonym for a bestselling author and New York-based journalist who has written fifteen books. His previous Conrad Voort thrillers, three of which were selections of major book clubs, include The Broken Hearts Club, Irresistible, All the Dead Were Strangers, and Dead For Life.
