Summary

A brutal homicide sets an ex-cop and his former partner on the hunt for an enigmatic killer in a gripping thriller by the author of Under Color of Law.

When former detective Trevor “Finn” Finnegan became a PI, he adopted a new mandate: catch the LAPD’s worst in the act. While on surveillance in Venice Beach, Finn tails two potentially dirty cops: Detective Martin Riley and Finn’s ex-partner, Detective Sally Munoz. Things take a deadly turn when an unknown assailant executes Riley and wounds Munoz. In an instant, Finn goes from private eye to eyewitness.

Munoz needs Finn to help find Riley’s killer, but doing so could blow his cover. She’s an officer shaded by rumors. Maybe she’s still a good cop—but maybe she’s not. Finn’s reluctance ends when his dear “uncle,” an ex-LAPD detective, is murdered, and it might be connected to Riley’s death.

To prevent more bloodshed and avoid becoming the next targets on the killer’s list, Finn and Munoz will have to bury their complicated past, trust each other, and come face-to-face with painful secrets that could destroy them both.

Critic reviews

“Clark balances the personal and the professional challenges adroitly as he further develops his lead. S.A. Cosby fans will hope for a long series run.”Publishers Weekly

Blue Like Me is a gritty, dark, and gripping crime thriller featuring flawed characters, complex relationships, and facing your past head-on. Aaron Philip Clark has delivered a second straight compelling novel in this series that will appeal to fans of Michael Connelly and Raymond Chandler.”—Best Thriller Books

Blue Like Me sees former LAPD detective Trevor Finnegan on the other side of law enforcement, as a private investigator with a knack for busting crooked cops. Clark takes us on a propulsive, twisting tour of greater Los Angeles and explores the abyss that opens under the confluence of money, power, and police corruption.”—Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning author of Your House Will Pay: A Novel and the Juniper Song Mysteries

*A Question of Trust*

This is the second instalment in the Trevor Finnegan series, after the fallout of corruption, a leaked video and a near fatal attack means that Trevor Aka Finn is now a private investigator. He works for an attorney who wants him to look into corrupt in the police force. Finn has insight into the workings of the police which makes him the best person for the job. One thing that niggles him is that one part of the jigsaw is missing from the first book as the female detective in question is at large and needs to pay for her crimes.

Finn is on the tail of two dirty cops, one is his ex partner. But in the blink of an eye an execution takes place which leaves his ex partner injured while the other has expired.

When a person dear to Finn is murdered he feels he has no choice but to do a deal with the devil and work with his ex partner. Trouble continues to find Finn and after another close shave he is determined to find out who is behind the murders and it leads him into murkier waters when he sees how far and how desperate people are to cover their tracks. He soon realises that he is only just scratching the surface with the level of corruption and all this with him trying to hold down a relationship that he has always wanted and now he is doing it all wrong when a secret about his exposed and rocks the boat for him. Why does he continually do this???…. I wonder if this is the end of the series or will there be more….

Ok


First book in series much better. Story line was ok. The last 30 minutes of the book could have been left out and that story line carried over to next book. That part seem kind of rushed.

Looking forward to next installment…

I have enjoyed both books. I like the protagonist and I don’t mind the narrator’s style. The writing is good and keeps me interested.
Our protagonist does have a lot of drama - but that makes for good stories. He has flaws - but not the typical cop/ex-cop flaws. I hope he doesn’t ruin his love life with his best friend. I can see some coming drama with the mother of his child and his lady love. The 2nd books ends on an interesting cliff hanger. I hope there will be more.

Good Book

I’ve enjoyed the Aaron Clarks book on Trevor Finnegan. I’m not thrilled with the narration of it though. Not that the narrator is bad, I feel he pauses too often and just does not express enough emotion in some of his reading. He reads well but the delivery of it could be better at least for this book series. I’m not sure what Trevor is going to do with his current girlfriend and his baby mama, but those will be more situation’s to see in the next novel, as well as a surprise, it was dropped on him at the end of this book! Looking forward to more!

This is a loser

The main character is the most gullible person I’ve read about in awhile.

First I want to address EOW- end of watch and I understand this is fictional, but I think if you don’t know how it works don’t use it. EOW works like this your officer has been shot or injured in the line of duty nobody announces an EOW until the family is notified but the character here had it called out before the body left the street. It’s a very calm and respectful manner that happens with EOW. I work for my police department so I take umbrage because this has happened twice. It really had no real necessity to the storyline.

Next baby’s mom shows up and goes off on his girlfriend then baby mom and now him and her are just so elated.

Please tell me what place in L.A. only takes a $1500 deposit bc that doesn’t happen. Now he’s so glad the baby is in his life that he leaves for 6 months to Paris.

He wanders behind a terrible ex-partner at PD because that makes sense.

This book was bad!
