That’s what Jake Katz, a rookie cop on the Metropolitan Police Department, has to figure out in Death At The Howard, a novel about a web of events that will change him, his city, and his country forever. Through it all, Katz learns who he is and who he aspires to be, at an unexpected cost to both him and his family. The echoes of that time still reverberate through the country today, not just for those of us who lived through it, but for all Americans. Death At The Howard vividly shows readers of all ages why.
New From Dave Tevelin
Jake Katz is back in Murder On Morton, Dave Tevelin’s third piece of historical crime fiction set in our nation’s capital. In this sequel to Death At The Howard and Siege Of The Capital, Rayful Edmond’s criminal empire overwhelms D.C. in 1989 with a flood of cocaine that threatens to wash away Jake’s career and maybe even his life. Painful secrets are revealed and bitter consequences confronted as Jake grapples with love, ethics, and the law.
