Andrew Grant (http://www.andrewgrantbooks.com/) , the younger brother of bestselling thriller writer Lee Child, has scorched onto the crime fiction scene with 4 novels since 2009. In False Positive, Alabama detective Cooper Devereaux makes no apologies for his luxury lifestyle or the way he does his job. Most cops haven’t lived the kind of life he has starting out as an orphan, raised by a grizzled cop saviour. Most don’t use his kind of high-risk tactics. But he may have met his match in fellow detective Jan Loflin, who’s fresh off a long undercover stint in Vice. They are destined to become partners on a case that will test them both to the limit. A seven-year-old boy has disappeared from his home in the Birmingham suburbs. But the more Devereaux digs into the missing child’s background, the more he discovers about his own. The case shakes loose a series of harrowing truths about bloodlines, mass murder, obsession, and what two damaged detectives have in common with the innocent victim they’re so desperate to save. Detective Devereaux hurtles at break neck speed in his search for the missing child, culminating in an ending that few readers will see coming. Hang on tight and enjoy.
