Every Secret Crime

Mystery writer Doug Cummings releases second installment of acclaimed book series. In his forthcoming novel, former cop and crime reporter Doug M. Cummings digs deep into the world of suburban corruption. This journalist-turned-mystery writer has witnessed plenty of suburban criminal activity during his 17 year broadcasting career, and weaves some of his professional experiences into his book. Set in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Falcon Ridge, Every Secret Crime introduces readers to 17-year-old Trey Hayden, son of celebrity attorneys. Alone in his house, Trey comes face-to-face with a shadowy intruder, just outside his bedroom door. What follows is a bloody homicide that attracts the attention of national media, as well as local TV reporter Reno McCarthy. McCarthy notices something not quite right about the police investigation - but the more he presses, the more dangerous his pursuit becomes. Every Secret Crime is the second installment in Cummings' acclaimed Reno McCarthy series. The modern gumshoe/TV reporter made his debut in Cummings' Deader by the Lake. Booklist described McCarthy as "a sexy, emotionally vulnerable reporter with an active conscience as well as a nose for news, half-truths, and lies."
