Lou Parker is a retired New York
cop living in Florida on his boat drinking his life away. When
he receives a letter that his son, Shawn, also a NY cop, has
been murdered, he returns to New York to find the killer. He
returns to his precinct and confronts Captain Morrison, trying
to get some information about his son’s death.
Morrison,
who hated Parker when Parker was a detective, doesn’t really
give him much. Parker notices that he is being followed, and
finds out that Chris is also a cop, and she used to be Shawn’s
girlfriend. Parker finds himself visiting his old partner, Tollin,
and tells him everything that is going on, looking for a little
help.
Meanwhile, Chris and Parker sort of become partners on
this case, but Parker has never worked with a woman, and has
a very low opinion of them because of his ex-wife. Parker also
learns that his son had millions of dollars in a Swiss bank account.
Parker knows that neither the cocaine or money were Shawn’s,
and they were planted…he just needs to prove it. But as
he gets closer and closer to the truth, people that are helping
him start dying like flies.
Twisted Shadows is a hard-boiled detective
story. Lou Parker used to be a New York cop, and his attitude
shows it. He doesn’t want help from anybody, especially
from a woman cop. His language is tough, and so are his actions.
As he delves further into his son’s murder, things start
to get a little out of control. The police won’t help him.
The people that do end up dead. Someone is trying to kill him…and
Chris. Then there is one other problem…Lou can’t admit
to himself that he is starting to fall for Chris.
