Michael Hearns’ debut novel, Trust No One, introduced the world to Vice Intelligence and Narcotics (VIN) detective, Cade Taylor. His second book, Grasping Smoke, solidified Cade Taylor as a dynamic, action-driven character. In Hearns’ third installment, One More Move, Detective Cade Taylor, still living and working in the tropical splendor of South Florida, is asked to aid a Drug Enforcement team on a standard operation. In the drug world, nothing is standard.

On the surface, this case appears simple, but Cade quickly becomes ensnared in a net of misdeeds, cover-ups, and evasive allies. In the wake of his divorce and the tremendous stress and violence of being a VIN detective in Miami, Cade finds himself confronted with the biggest case of his career. As the truth rises up, so does the shocking involvement of those he should depend upon and those who will stop at nothing to serve their own interests.

In the abyss of the job that’s wringing him dry, Cade navigates the rarely seen darker edges of the tropical landscape and aquamarine vistas of Miami. He thrives in the parts of Miami that get cropped out of the postcard images.

One More Move, like its predecessor novels, takes the reader on a journey that many never see, the unpolished grittier side of a police badge. The side of the badge closest to the heart.
