A Danger to Himself and Others (Bomb Squad NYC: Incident 1) by J.E. Fishman
First book in the only series based on the real world of the NYPD Bomb Squad!
You’ve never seen cops like these. You’ve never experienced New York like this.
Bomb Squad Detective Manuel Diaz exists in a troubled state. A former Army bomb tech, he misses the adrenaline rush of combat and feels little if any love from his partner, Sergeant Sandy Kahn. When he brings home the pressures of his job, it causes fights with his beautiful roommate, Jennifer. And, as if that weren’t enough, he also harbors a torturous secret.
When one disabled army veteran blows himself up in front of an Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square and another blows himself up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, all of Diaz’s worries become magnified. More than anything else, Manny wants to prove these incidents aren’t suicides. But is he right? If not suicides, what’s going on here? Can he solve the cases without revisiting all of the things that haunt him from combat? Can he solve them without driving himself insane?
Series Technical Consultant Lt. Mark Torre, Commander of the NYPD Bomb Squad
A DANGER TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes.
