“Based on the experiences of police chiefs John Cutter and Robert Nivakoff, The Squad Room is an intriguing murder mystery.” ~ ForeWord Reviews
(New York, NY): John Cutter and Robert Nivakoff started their careers as police officers and worked their way to hold high level positions in the police department. With a combined total of seven decades of service, Cutter and Nivakoff took their years of experience and wrote the chilling page turner, The Squad Room (Beaufort Books, April 2016).
The Squad Room gives readers a genuine insider’s view of a detective squad room in the NYPD and shows what it is like to handle real life and death situations every day. It brings a human face to the multitude of public servants, the nameless legion we only read about in the tabloids when something horrific happens.
The Squad Room follows Captain William “Bill” Morrison, a man haunted by his own demons. Morose, a borderline alcoholic, he finds a second family among the members of his task force, the only men and women as committed to the brotherhood as he is.
The face of unspeakable horror can come in many forms. In The Squad Room a serial killer is terrorizing New York City, targeting young, helpless women. Morrison and his team are racing against time to identify and bring justice to the murderer. Meanwhile, the task force runs up against villains inside the system: a Chief and a Detective who got where they are by political maneuvering, rather than skill and merit.
With the body count up to five and a possible copycat killer on the loose, The Squad Room will keep readers on the edge of their seat until the very last page!
