Kingpin–Now Available!
From USA Today bestselling and award winning author, Robert I. Katz, Kingpin, the seventh book in the Kurtz and Barent mystery series.
“Richard Kurtz is a part-time police surgeon, but police surgeons are physicians, not cops, despite Kurtz’ recent history.
For Kurtz and his wife, Lenore, things have finally returned to normal. It’s been over a year since serial killer Seamus Sullivan terrorized West Virginia and Kurtz is back home in New York, teaching residents and medical students, taking care of patients and enjoying his life. He has a growing practice, a new baby and a big, new house in the Bronx.
But fate has a way of interfering and Richard Kurtz has a knack for stumbling into trouble.
No one expected Marty Blanton, a well-known Broadway composer and Kurtz’ recent patient, to wind up with a bullet through his head.
Was it suicide or was it murder? Lew Barent thinks it was murder, and the physician detective, Kurtz cannot resist trying to untangle a murder mystery that involves organized crime, sex-trafficking and entrenched corruption in the NYPD.
If you love mysteries with a hero who pulls no punches and never backs down, you will love this latest thriller from USA Today bestselling author, Robert I. Katz!
