Publisher's summary

It’s 9:10 PM in the Chatham County Communications Center. The dispatchers stare at each other, afraid to move, afraid to breathe. One minute to go. Will tonight be the night? The clock on the wall changes. 9:11. A phone rings. The screens indicate the 911 call is coming from a blocked number. The dispatchers hope and pray it’s a coincidental call for service. Perhaps, a car break-in or a bar fight. With all eyes on her, one dispatcher presses a button, puts the call on speaker for everyone to hear.

“Chatham 9-1-1. What’s your emergency?”

The distorted voice comes across the speaker. He gives the address. There will be a body at that location. That’s for certain. The killer dares the police to catch him and then, like before...he’s gone.

Former Pittsburgh narcotics detective Trevor Galloway and new PI Bethany Nolan are enlisted to look into the case of the 9-1-1 Killer and the investigation takes an unexpected turn when Galloway suggests the murderer may be a first responder. Galloway is pushed to the limit as he wonders if his hallucinations are returning and if members of a drug gang that want him dead have tracked him to Savannah, Georgia.

Galloway soon discovers he doesn’t trust the police. He doesn’t trust his client. He doesn’t even trust himself.

J.J. Hensley is a former police officer and former Special Agent with the US Secret Service. Hensley is the author of the crime novels Resolve, Measure Twice, Chalk's Outline, Bolt Action Remedy, Record Scratch, and several short stories.

very good

Very engaging book. The narrator took some of the fun out of it though. he sounded like a robot and didn't have much fluctuations in his voice.
