The Race of the Swift
A murder. A victim. A cop.
None are what they seem to be.
"Great story that grabs you from the beginning and then delivers an unexpected and gripping conclusion." - Goodreads review
Aeronautics legend Karl Schuler is murdered on a quiet expressway in the early hours of New Year's Day--in what looks like a gang hit. Detective James Ruiz and his wife witness the shooting, and Ruiz hears the man's puzzling last words. San Jose Homicide detective Mario Flores interviews the couple and begins the search for the man's killer.
Like a perfect storm, the shooting and investigation ripple through the lives of the three people on the expressway, changing them forever.
Who would murder Schuler--a man his friends and community called a saint? Schuler served the poor and devoted his life to mentoring students on San Jose's east side. As rising star detective Flores investigates the brutal crime, James Ruiz looks into Schuler's death on his own-and finds the shocking truth about Schuler's past.
In Swift Horses Racing, secrets are revealed, as the past reaches into the present with devastating results. Despite an atmospheric river and a personal betrayal, Detectives Ruiz and Flores must work together to find a killer who has everything to lose--and is ready to kill again.
