Here’s the set-up for Dan Pasquale’s Past Tense, just $2.99 on Kindle:
How does a cop go missing in action?
Detective Mike Sheridan tried to wrap his mind around the concept as he sped through town. The late night call from dispatch had been anything but helpful. A patrol sergeant was missing after making a routine car stop and Mike was being assigned the case. And so began an investigation unlike any he’d experienced.
Sergeant Dave Bertram, had been involved in a computer espionage case that had put him in conflict with the KGB two decades earlier – 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, but who wanted Bertram dead, and why?
As Sheridan struggles with grief over losing his colleague and tries to find time for his new girlfriend, he doesn’t realize someone else is also working the Bertram case—a mysterious figure who knows more about the past than he does.
From the reviewers:
Mystery/thrillers, especially police proceduals, are one of my favorite reads. Dan Pasquale did a terrific job on this, his first novel. Action packed, excellent character development, suspenseful plot, romance without being dirty. I look forward to more from this author. – “ShadowtheDog”
I am a James Patterson fan and I am happy to say this book reminded me of Michael Bennett character from Patterson’s book. It is a fast paced book and kept my interest the whole time. I really enjoyed the characters in the book and had each one visualized quickly. With roots to law enforcement, it made this book even more enjoyable, although those without would also enjoy it. – Robin Neal
I read this exciting book on the advice of several coworkers. Dan Pasquale knows police work and tells it like it is. He was right on in so many areas that I felt like a member of the Mission Police Department. Dan grabbed my interest from the first word. He made me tear up at his depiction of a police funeral. He told a good believable story. I’ll be sure to pick up his next installment. – Reading Robert
