The First Shot: Book One in The Lieutenant Kane Dedicated to Death SeriesFor Tampa homicide lieutenant Carl Kane, death is his life. If a single award existed for sinking himself into his work, he’d have two.But the latest crime scene he’s called to, an old abandoned factory, leaves him with more bodies than leads. Three drug dealers are found shot to death—not an uncommon sight in the least. The … uncommon sight in the least. The problem lies with the pair of middle-aged women—bound, gagged, and executed—found at the same location.
Before he can sink his teeth into the initial investigation, Kane is called out to another multiple homicide. He comes up with only more questions when the second group of murders appears connected to the first.
As the lieutenant tracks down the few leads, he begins to get a clearer picture of those he seeks. That picture quickly turns crystal clear when Kane finds himself face-to-face with someone that “armed and dangerous” doesn’t even begin to describe.

O really enjoy the Lt. Kane stories.
Huge body count.
Good book! I enjoyed it
Did not like it at all. Only read a few pages and couldn’t go any further.
It was ok.
Good read
Enjoyed this action packed saga, thrilling to the last page.
Will read more of this authorS books. Great story.
I found a very entertaining but a little bit slow at times
It’s not going to be easy to figure out how drug dealers and dead middle aged older women are connected. In this first book for the police character, LT Cane, it’s a good read following him around Tampa Florida trying to catch a killer.
too much detail about how the protagonist did something. Seemed like the author was trying to fill pages with words rather than ideas.
Many twists and turns to keep one’s interest.
Excessive violence. Dumped the book after ten or so pages.
Slow moving, tedious
Very well written, however a little too gristly for my taste
Outstanding read.
good police procedural
A very thrilling detective story with some fairly brutal instances; but where the bad guy gets what he deserves in the end. A very entertaining page-turner!
This book held my interest and was well written.
Lost interest in 3rd chapter
