Benefit of the Doubt: A Novel

A Wisconsin detective faces a crime ring with ties to his own department in this “suspenseful debut novel by a cop-turned-author who knows the turf” (Joseph Wambaugh, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).

Benefit of the Doubt is a gripping thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of policing in small-town America, where local police departments now deal with big-city crimes and corruption.

Ben Sawyer was a big-city cop, until a public altercation forced him to resign. Now a detective in the tiny Wisconsin town where he and his wife grew up, Ben suspects the higher-ups in his department are taking payoffs from local drug lords.

Before long, Ben is off the force. His wife is accused of murder. His only ally is another outcast, a Latina rookie cop. Worse, a killer has escaped from jail with vengeance on his mind . . . and Ben Sawyer in his sights.
