Eliot Parker, author of four thrillers, returns with a new novel, Code for Murder, featuring Cleveland Homicide Detective Stacy Tavitt.
An overzealous decision by Stacy Tavitt leads to a botched undercover investigation, leading to Stacy being attacked and her unconscious body dumped into the frigid Cuyahoga River. Six months later, Stacy’s first case back from medical leave involves the murder of Cleveland Browns football player Devon Baker. With little forensic evidence connecting anyone to the crime, Stacy sets out to find the killer. As Stacy comes very close to unraveling the tangled threads of the case, the killer wants her, and those close to her, to suffer for another impulsive decision she made in the line of duty. The killer just may be more familiar to Stacy than she realizes.
Code for Murder was a 2018 finalist for Thriller/Adventure Writing by American Book Fest’s annual “Best Book Awards.” Parker is also the recipient of the West Virginia Literary Merit Award and a finalist for the Southern Book Prize in Thriller Writing.
