Night Cover

Lt. Leroy Powder, Indianapolis PD, investigates a series of gruesome murders and the disappearance of a teenage girl

Six burglaries, two assaults, one armed robbery, and a bomb scare all come in at the tail end of Lt. Leroy Powder’s swing shift in the night cover room of the Indianapolis PD — a shift he’s been working for nineteen years. About to wrap up, he gets a call from low-level criminal Johnny Uncle, who claims to have found a body.

The cause of death is strangulation. There’s no sign of sexual assault, no apparent motive, and no form of ID on the corpse — including prints because the killer took a sledgehammer to the victim’s hands postmortem. But Powder’s problems have only begun: This body won’t be the last.
