The Seam
A Danny Corrado Novel
Coming soon
“Three new locks. And she opened every one of them.”
The first Danny Corrado novel
For fourteen years a man has been killing young women across New York and New Jersey. Each time, the police suspected the victim’s ex, a man she had left and taken to court. That instinct is usually right. It is also why no one has seen the pattern. NYPD detective Danny Corrado has trusted that instinct his whole life. It has hidden the killer from him, too.
The first chapter
At 1:27 p.m. on February 2, the temperature in Central Park rose above freezing for the first time in nine days, and the city began to drip.
Corrado heard the call eleven minutes later, half a sentence of it from across the squad room. Inwood. A woman in her twenties, in her own apartment. No forced entry.
He was on his feet before he heard the rest. It wasn’t his turn. He asked the lieutenant for it anyway, and the lieutenant looked at him a moment longer than the question needed and gave it to him. The detective who was up next said nothing, which meant he would say it later.
Danny Corrado
Danny Corrado is a fictional NYPD detective in Manhattan North Homicide. As a boy he learned to listen through a bedroom wall. His Puerto Rican grandparents raised him in East Harlem from the age of nine.
He is the best interviewer in the squad and tells no one anything. He has been eligible to retire since 2018. Everyone asks him why he stays.
