Wounded Blue Darby Kern

"There's an old saying: One fisherman recognizes another fisherman from afar."

Ken Brady is a Detective in the Milwaukee Police Department, working for the Sensitive Case Unit, tasked to investigate violent cases with a sexual component--and as good as he is at his job, he's bad at his personal relationships. He's on his third wife and his kids from his first marriage want nothing to do with him. He's carrying a lot of weight, personally and professionally... and his doctor just told him he's got diabetes.

Now a case has fallen into his hands, one that makes no sense to him or anyone else. The abused body of a girl turns up with a number tattooed on her arm, looking like a survivor from a Nazi concentration camp. But this is the 21 Century, and this girl wasn't alive during the holocaust.

Finding the girl's killer leads Brady into a journey that will reveal his own heart of darkness and change his life forever. Discovering the monster behind her death, and the connection between predator and prey, will reveal the demons that have controlled him for decades. The time has come for Brady to face them...

Wounded Blue is an honest investigation of the battle every man faces, and the results that could happen when that battle is lost.
