The Filthy Few: A Steve Nastos Mystery

Read The Filthy Few: A Steve Nastos Mystery Storyline:

When the murder of one of her sources is written off by the police as just a drug deal gone bad, journalist and former police officer Karen Grant finds herself on the hit list along with Ann Falconer, the solitary witness to the killing. They have only one person they can turn to for help: Steve Nastos, Grant’s ex-partner and disgraced detective who is now a private detective in business with rash lawyer Kevin Carscadden. Added to the mix are police officers David Morrison and Jake Radix, two rookies determined to advance their careers into the drug squad by any means necessary. When the dirty cops, outlaw bikers, and Nastos meet for the inevitable confrontation, only those willing to get the filthiest will survive.Review“The conviction with which Cain writes and Nastos’s hard-nosed moral ambiguities makes for one-sitting reading—at least for those willing to risk an extended journey through some unsavory places where being rich or poor doesn’t matter in the least.”  —National Post on Dark Matter “Cain ramps up the suspense to fever pitch and follows the exciting ending with an ambiguous dénouement that augurs another story.”  —Publishers Weekly on Dark Matter “This novel delivers on all levels: action, courtroom drama, the reality of a police culture we’d prefer not to acknowledge, and a show-stopping climax that is soul satisfying, one that plants an eagerness for another novel about Toronto detective Steve Nastos.”  —Hamilton Spectator on Cherry Beach ExpressAbout the AuthorR.
