"Chicago has always had crime. But some crimes lead to places nobody wants a detective to go."
Bill Roper
This September marks the beginning of The Bill Roper Crime Series, a six-book novella series following Bill Roper, a seasoned, tough Chicago Police detective who has spent years learning the streets, the people and the systems operating behind them.
Each book puts Roper at the center of a new violent-crime investigation. But the deeper he digs, the more he discovers that murder is sometimes only the beginning.
Across the six-book series, Roper's cases increasingly collide with a larger and more dangerous world. Each investigation stands on its own. But together, the six books tell a much bigger story and with every case Roper solves, he gets a little closer to people who would rather he stopped looking.
Bill Roper has spent over twenty years working Chicago's most dangerous streets — long enough to know that the law and the truth don't always show up together. He's seasoned. He's tough. He's not a choir boy, and he's not trying to become one. What he is, is persistent the kind of detective who keeps pulling a thread long after everyone else has told him to let it go.
Roper trusts evidence over people, mostly because people have disappointed him too many times to keep counting. He knows the difference between breaking a rule and breaking a man, and in a city where power protects itself, that distinction matters more than most detectives are willing to admit.

The Bill Roper Crime Series is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are products of the author's imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
