Marshall Karp, coauthor of the number-one best-selling NYPD Red series, sets his latest thriller in LA, where someone is recruiting terminally ill patients to commit one final act before they die: murder.

Laced with twists, turns, and Karp's trademark biting cop humor, you may find yourself rooting for the killers-law-abiding citizens who have abandoned their values to earn a half million dollars for the loved ones they will leave behind. You may also find yourself asking, "What would I do?"

If you've never met LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs, Terminal is the perfect place to start.
