Mystery | Suspense
As the first and only woman police officer in the fading
blue-collar town of Bridgeborough, Karen McCarthy knows she
has a lot to prove – to her fellow cops and, even more
dauntingly, to herself. So when she bungles a chance to arrest the number-one
suspect in a cop-killing incident, Karen throws herself into
the investigation in any way she can manage. Trouble is, the
more she learns about the case, the less clear-cut
everything seems to be. There is also a cabal of corrupt
officers within the force to reckon with, and when Karen
comes face-to-face with the killer himself, an already
difficult case turns into a threat to her life as well as
her police career. Author and journalist Steven Hart is the author of The Last
Three Miles: Politics, Murder, and the Construction of
America’s First Superhighway (The New Press, 2007), a widely
praised work of narrative history. Now he turns his hand to
crime fiction for his first novel. Already praised by top-notch novelists as a bold new
thriller, Steven Hart’s We All Fall Down offers a
realistically drawn woman cop who’s neither an adorable ditz
nor a fantasy superheroine. Karen McCarthy is a very tough,
highly vulnerable woman who is still learning to deal with
her demons. For her, every victory is hard-won, and carries
a personal cost.
