When a construction worker falls to his death suspicion falls on his fellow coworker in this action packed thriller that takes place in Brooklyn. This is part of a series but is easily able to be read alone. This was a well written novel that kept me engaged throughout and I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.

A Falling Knife
By Andrew Case
Case’s second novel, a sequel to ‘The Big Fear’ in ‘The Hollow City Series’. Although it can easily be read as a stand along novel as I did.
The story follows ex-cop Leonard Mitchell, a city building investigator who is drawn into going undercover for the police to investigate corruption in the building industry. He uncovers far more than he can imagine, especially as he struggles with who to trust.
Case has a well written novel that engage the reader with interesting, if somewhat unbelievable at times, twists and turns.

Very interesting storyline - being from Brooklyn I understood the premise since new buildings are cropping up all day and an accident almost seems inevitable but the underlying story behind this particular accident made me stay up all night - sign of a good book indeed

A falling knife by Andrew Case is a mystery and thriller and general fiction (adult) read.
Something’s rotten in the borough of Brooklyn. And it’s not just the wave of glossy condos pushing longtime residents out of their neighborhoods. A construction worker has plunged to his death, and suspicion has fallen on a fellow hard hat for turning a crane into a killing machine. When the suspect does a disappearing act, a pair of unlikely partners reunite to chase him down.
A good but slow read. I liked the story and the characters. A bit predictable. 4*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from netgalley.

A fantastic book from beginning to end! Really had me gripped, so much that I didn't want to put it down until I had completed reading it. I liked that the main characters were ones we knew from the last book so it felt like you didn't have to waste half the book getting to know them. Great storyline, great characters, a great read!
