Bad Cop by Peter Sarda

A grim look into the tangled fates of decent men gone wrong, Bad Cop by Peter Sarda is the dark but gripping second installment of the Hamburg Noir series. When a hungry underworld rises up to claim the scattered pieces of a heroin empire, bloody chaos and desperate violence are inevitable, but two veteran detectives at the crosshairs are up to the task, cleverly digging into the dirt of hired hitmen, crooked allies, and a laundry list of ulterior motives. With two classic noir protagonists, sharp dialogue, and a sinister edge of vigilante justice on the gritty streets of Hamburg, Sarda’s latest installment is a solid and satisfying work of crime fiction that improves on its predecessor.
