The Guilty One
Book description
A hero cop thwarts a brutal murder and can’t remember a thing about it. But memories return—and so do the nightmares in this breathlessly paced thriller for fans of David Ricciardi and Michael Connelly.
Every town needs a hero—and Detective Cal Farrell fits the bill. He stopped an active shooter…
Why read it?
2 authors picked The Guilty One as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is a detective story that turns detective stories on their head—another absolutely fantastic read created by the incomparable Bill Schweigart.
Penned with his signature wit, humor, and an unprecedented talent for engrossing dialogue, Bill gives a fresh take on police procedural/detective novels.
Equal parts intrigue, action, mystery, horror, and even a bit of history, this page-turner will have your head spinning until the very end. This is not to be missed!
The one book on my list that doesn’t involve a military veteran, The Guilty One isn’t that much of an outlier as the protagonist is a law enforcement officer.
I thought it important to include amongst my picks not only for the PTSD symptoms present and expertly portrayed by Schweigart, but also for the reminder that a PTSD diagnosis is not relegated to veterans alone.
Military, first responders, and civilians alike that are exposed to and suffer from experiencing trauma are all susceptible to symptoms. PTSD doesn’t discriminate in who it affects.
What I really liked about Bill’s take was…
From T. R.'s list on thrillers that capture and bring awareness to PTSD.
