Past Tense

How do you lose an officer during a firefight? This isn’t the Army. There is no such thing as “missing in action” in police work! Sergeant Dave Bertram had thirty years’ experience. How could he be missing? Rolling through town Detective Mike Sheridan tried to wrap his mind around the concept. The late night call from dispatch had been anything but helpful. A patrol sergeant was missing after making a routine car stop and he was being assigned the case. And so began an investigation unlike any he’d experienced. Two decades earlier, at the dawn of the computer age, the missing officer had been involved in a case that had put him in conflict with the KGB– but could that incident have come back to haunt him, all these years later? With the help of the senior FBI inspector who had worked on the original case, Sheridan tracks the suspects across the country. And all the while he doesn’t realize someone else is also working the Bertram case—a dangerous figure who knows more about the past than he does.
