Jonathan Stone Books Overview
The Cold Truth
Female NYPD trainee Julian Palmer has come to a frigid corner of Upstate New York to work alongside legendary police chief Winston ‘Bear’ Edwards to help solve the brutal murder of a young waitress, and perhaps learn a thing or two along the way. Julian knows that Edwards, an Old School cop if there ever were one, isn’t happy about a female rookie assisting him or the strange local psychic they’ve called in to help. Still, she’s a bit in awe of the old Bear he has, after all, solved every murder case he’s ever worked on. Except this one. Now, as Julian and Edwards investigate, they are thrust into a labyrinthine mystery, where endless twists and turns keep the case as compelling as it is elusive. And as the snow continues to fall on rural New York, hiding everything beneath a glistening white blanket, it might also cover up the only thing that will solve this case: The Cold Truth…
The Heat of Lies
Young, beautiful, police detective Julian Palmer is growing up. Just a few years out of the New York Police Academy, she’s earning her stripes fast. Julian has solved high profile murder cases, and been promoted to Lieutenant upstate Troy, New York. But her latest case has her baffled. She’s tracking the killer of a respected husband and father. With no suspects, a family hungry for answers, and the press breathing down her neck, Julian is desperate and in over her head. That’s when Julian gets an unlikely visitor: her one time mentor and the first man she arrested for murder, former police Chief Winston ‘The Bear’ Edwards. Once famed for his physical immensity and unmatched detective skills, Edwards is now a shadow of his former self. He’s managed to escape a life in prison, but emerged a beaten man with no family and nowhere to turn. The only thing he has left is his brilliant police mind. Now the one time mentor has returned to his former student, looking for a shot at redemption, and a reason for living. Despite Julian’s mistrust and fear of Edwards, the young Lieutenant knows he’s still a gifted detective and cautiously brings him in on this seemingly unsolvable case. Working side by side with a man who once tried to kill her, Julian gets drawn deep into the murder investigation and into the mind of the murder victim’s young daughter. The girl forces Julian to confront once again the bizarre events surrounding the decade old murder of her own father. Taut, edgy and utterly unpredictable, The Heat of Lies will shock and scare you and keep you turning the pages long into the night. Jonathan Stone is widely praised as one of today’s top thriller writers. Stone knows the importance of character, the significance of nuance, and folly of clich . This is his second, and most riveting novel.
Breakthrough
Detective Julian Palmer is taking a break from homicide or so she thinks. Signing on to assist in a simple insurance investigation, she soon finds herself enmeshed in something far more elaborate. It’s a bizarre case, one that leads her from a dead investment banker with a mysterious briefcase, to a renegade inventor in the New Mexico desert, and ultimately, to the investing frenzy of Wall Street in the late 1990’s. It also leads her to an unexpected romance with Tom Hartley a man as lonely as Julian, and as passionate about uncovering the truth. Welcome to the twists, turns and switchbacks that are Jonathan Stone’s trademark. A world of puzzles and mirrors, where the possibilities move as fast as the characters. Where the trail goes from cold to warm to searing hot. And where a beautiful young banker seems to wield more power dead than alive. In Jonathan Stone’s Breakthrough, the collars may be white, but the blood still runs red.
