Heavens May Fall, Allan Eskens

Cop/Lawyer intersection story. Cop is wrongly accused of planting evidence by lawyer. Cop hates lawyer, though lawyer insists he didn't know his document was a forgery. Fast forward. Cop's wife Jenny is killed in a hit and run. Lawyers wife Jennavieve is murdered. Cop thinks lawyer did it and sets out to prove his guilt. Is he blinding himself out of a desire for revenge

The Heavens May Fall
Twist. Our cop gets in the mail a letter stating that his wife was not killed in a hit and run, but was murdered. A key accompanies the letter--to a storage box somewhere? The lawyer claims he was at a conference in Chicago when is wife was killed. But was he? Or did he get in a car, drive to Minneapolis, kill his wife, and then return to the conference. Lawyer is hated by his dead wife's (rich) sister.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
