Brooklyn
Heat
by D. James Eldon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
Crime Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When a little girl is found
brutally murdered, veteran NYPD homicide detectives Hiro Masimoto and Ryan
Sullivan are determined, against all odds, to solve the case.
In the midst of the worst heat
wave in New York City’s history and with personal and professional pressures
mounting, the detectives pursue the mother’s ex-boyfriend and former criminal,
Nick DeSantis.
But DeSantis, a two-time
felon, has skipped town and the detectives struggle to collect enough hard
evidence to extradite him before he slips completely out of their grasp.
With a cast of outlaw
characters and more twists and turns than a coiled spring, Brooklyn Heat
delivers a taut thriller of the highest caliber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Detective Hiro Masimoto makes his way through the
gaggle of spectators, approaches the yellow police tape stretched loosely
between the railings at the foot of the brownstone steps. He runs an absent
hand through his cropped, jet-black hair, then bends his lanky
six-foot-two-inch frame under the tape. Despite the heat, he wears an
immaculately pressed dark-blue suit, crisp white shirt, and geometrically
patterned blue and white tie. A gold shield hangs from his breast pocket.
“Hey, Maxi,” the uniform standing at the top of the
stairs says, taking a pull on his cigarette as the detective walks up to meet
him.
“Hey, Ralphie. What’s the deal?” Masimoto asks in
his patient way, as if passing the time, waiting for a train.
“Don’t know really, but I think it’s murder,”
Ralphie chuckles darkly, blowing smoke. When Masimoto doesn’t respond, Ralphie
frowns. “I wasn’t first on the scene. McNally and Dugan were. Dugan said to
wait here for the Dicks.”
“OK, well, I’m here now. Medical Examiner on the
way?”
“Don’t know.”
“Right, so, what do you know?” Masimoto asks.
“It’s been three weeks without a drop of rain, and
today’s gonna be another scorcher. Weatherman says hazy, hot, and humid.
There’s a bit of a panic over the temperature as no one can recall it ever
being this hot this early in the year. It’s been so hot for so long, the murder
rate has dropped to its lowest since the city’s been keeping track. People are
just too hot to bother,” Ralphie says with a wink, a nod, and a puff of his
cigarette.
