Somewhere in a grid of Manhattan streets the police call a box, a young detective is about to confront more than just a violent crime. Detective Armand DiPino responds to a ten thirteen, police code for an officer involved shooting. In the chaos of gunfire DiPino soon discovers the crime within the crime, that a corruption scandal that has simmered for years may have claimed the life of his wife, Patti, four years earlier.

KILLER IN A BOX is set at the time of the euro conversion. Old currencies will expire worthless and a criminal enterprise involving dirty cops is on the verge of panic. Millions of dollars worth of German currency are somewhere in New York. The secret of their location sets desperate men against one another.

A brilliant money laundering scheme is the back drop for this fast paced thriller. DiPino has more at stake than solving a crime. He must confront the truth about his own complicity in Patti’s death and the heartrending task of bringing those responsible out of the shadows whatever the personal cost may be.
