A wounded courier. A missing computer drive. A warning that someone claiming to be family must not be allowed near him.
When Detective Thomas Dawson brings a frightened murder suspect to Kings County Hospital, Nurse Pat Pomerenke listens closely enough to recognize a threat others might miss. What begins in a hospital corridor leads Dawson into an investigation connecting a Brooklyn workshop killing to an unresolved hit-and-run.
With Detective Amir Ellis and attorney Mara Keene, Dawson must untangle concealed evidence, conflicting accounts, and a dangerous attempt to buy silence.
But not every question he wants to ask belongs in his notebook.
Between hospital shifts and the demands of the case, Dawson finds himself drawn to a thoughtful, sharp-witted nurse who isn’t easily impressed. For a man accustomed to asking difficult questions, an invitation to coffee may be the most hopeful one of all.
The Third Invitation brings a complete Brooklyn crime mystery together with a gentle courtship, exploring truth, second chances, and the unexpected beginnings that can change a life.
