- Synopsis
- &“A tremendously compelling debut of rare skill&” (Phil Klay, author of Redeployment) about a soldier who goes AWOL from Afghanistan and returns home to unravel the mystery of his wife&’s death. When Coop—a U.S. Army paratrooper serving in Afghanistan—is called urgently to his Captain&’s office, he fears he&’s headed for a court martial. Coop has been keeping a terrible secret from his fellow soldiers, and worries he&’s been discovered. Instead, his life is devastated in a different way: his wife, Kay, has been killed in a hit-and-run. Given a brief leave to fly back to New York and attend to Kay&’s affairs, Coop is increasingly disturbed by the suspicious circumstances of his wife&’s death. He decides to go AWOL, using his military training to uncover the real story behind Kay&’s fatal accident. As he circles in on the truth, Coop must distinguish ally from enemy among a cast of players in the Bronx underworld: Albanian heroin smugglers, shady cops, corrupt rehab doctors, and his wife&’s family, a powerful clan of financial elites. Navigating this new battlefield, he&’ll have to find justice for Kay while also seeking his own redemption. Humming with mystery and grief, Fire in the Blood is a compulsively readable thriller about the wars we fight, whether overseas, in our city streets, or in the depths of our own hearts.
