The Rogue Element (Scott Priest #1) by John Hardy Bell
Unrated

The murder of a beautiful young lawyer. A political scandal unlike any the nation has seen. Two homicide detectives shot in cold-blood. And one of the police department's own stands accused of orchestrating the entire ordeal. The aftermath of these unimaginable crimes has left the law enforcement community in turmoil and an entire city shaken to its core. But for Detective Scott Priest, the daily business of solving homicides goes on. Today, it is the savage attack on a hotel room attendant inside a luxury suite. At first glance, the case appears routine. But for Priest, nothing about this case, or this day, will be routine. It begins with an impromptu meeting between the detective, his lieutenant, and a representative from the Attorney General’s office. It ends with a deadly series of events that complicate his case - and his life - in ways he could have never previously imagined. After today, the scandal that captured the nation’s attention will become very personal. After today, the business of being a homicide detective will never be the same.

His Grisham & Sullivan Crime Thriller Series follows former FBI agent Camille Grisham and Denver homicide detective Chloe Sullivan as they pursue calculated killers who plan carefully, adapt quickly, and never lose control.

Grounded in procedural realism and driven by psychological tension, Bell’s novels explore the tactical hunt behind modern violent crime—where every decision has consequences, and hesitation can be fatal.
