"Love & Bullets" - If Cohen and Colozzo thought that finding Colbert's daughter would get them answers to his murder, they were wrong. Maybe dead wrong.

It may be someone close -- very close -- to Roche, to Jeanne, to Colbert himself. Cohen will need all his street-savvy, and that elusive instinct he has for what's at the center of a crime, to unsnarl the mystery. And time is running out...
