The Cradle Will Fall is Luke Murphy’s latest novel featuring both Detective Charlene Taylor and P.I. Calvin Watters.
It was released on September 30, 2023.
Luke was kind enough to send us some information about the dangers Taylor and Watters find themselves up against in this latest installment.
This is Luke’s seventh novel and only the second time his characters from the popular Charlene Taylor Mysteries and The Calvin Watters Mysteries series have teamed up.
From the back cover:
A rogue cop...
When the FBI refuses to acknowledge the disappearance of Agent Matt Stone during a covert investigation overseas, Detective Charlene Taylor has no choice but to go on the hunt. Ukraine can be unforgiving to outsiders, but the detective has no idea just how deep the corruption runs.
A renegade PI...
There is only one person Charlene can turn to. Trusted friend and former leg-breaker, Calvin Watters, is a protector, and the only man who can go head-to-head with the danger that awaits them. Charlene must put her faith in Calvin, and hope that, together, they can find a way to uncover the truth surrounding the missing Americans.
Can Charlene and Calvin team up one more time to overcome an evil syndicate of corrupt cops, and a government conspiracy covered-up by an entire country?
