The Sam Laska Crime Thriller Series 3 Books Collection Set by Richard Rybicki (Where the Road Leads, Bottom Feeder Blues, The Green Line)
Where the Road Leads
A Body On Their Land. A Family Above The Law. A Detective They Can't Buy.
When Sam Laska discovers a bullet-ridden body near the influential Cordele family's property, he's thrust into a conspiracy that'll test his resolve and put everything he holds dear at risk.
The Cordeles use their power to corrupt cops and silence anyone who threatens them. With the police unwilling or unable to pursue justice, Laska has no choice but to work the case himself, drawing on all his skills as a former detective. Then a revelation linking his girlfriend to the Cordele family shakes his world and raises the cost of every move he makes.
Bottom Feeder Blues
The Prisoner Is Loose. The Vendetta Is Personal.
When two federal agents are found shot dead and their prisoner escapes, corrupt ex-cop Jesse Nichols has only one goal in mind: revenge on Sam Laska, the man who put him away.
Leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, Nichols closes in on his target. Laska, working alongside the Feds, believes he has Nichols cornered, then realizes too late that he's been outmaneuvered.
With no moves left, Laska can only watch as Nichols takes the one person he can’t live without.
The Green Line
Sixteen years after a murder on Chicago's Green Line went unsolved, exiled detective Sam Laska returns to the city to face the broken promise that's haunted him ever since. As he digs into the dormant investigation, Laska discovers that a former partner died under suspicious circumstances, then narrowly escapes an attempt on his own life.
Someone with money and reach wants the Green Line case to stay cold. To connect the two deaths, Laska will have to navigate a city where the corruption runs deeper than the train lines, and where every answer he unearths paints a fresh target on his back.
