In this fourth novel in Edgar Award finalist Gabriel Cohen’s acclaimed crime series, Brooklyn homicide detective Jack Leightner reopens the case of his brother’s death four decades later.
Cutting class, young Jack Leightner and his brother, Petey, are playing near the Brooklyn waterfront when they find a hidden case of Scotch. They are carrying it home when two teenagers from outside the neighborhood stop them and demand they hand over the booze. Jack refuses, and one of the muggers draws a knife, changing Jack’s life forever.
Forty years later, now a veteran of the elite Brooklyn South Homicide Task Force, Leightner still has not come to grips with that fateful day in Red Hook. He is making breakfast one morning when a man appears on his doorstep and introduces himself as Petey’s killer. Leightner could arrest him, but the man makes him a deal Let me go and I’ll tell you the real reason I stabbed your brother.
As Leightner digs into the hidden causes of his family tragedy, he finds his brother’s murder was about much more than a case of Scotch.
The Ninth Step is the 4th book in the Jack Leightner Crime Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
The Ninth Step The Jack Leightner Crime Novels Book 4 edition by Gabriel Cohen Literature Fiction eBooks
If you accept the idea of a vicious American government persecuting innocent Muslims in the aftermath of 9/11, you may enjoy this book. I don't accept that as factual (see Jose A. Rodriguez "Hard Measures" for a point of view borne of actual experience) but this author has received very good reviews for his other works of fiction so I ploughed through the entire book.The writing itself is ordinary as is the policeman protagonist and the dual mysteries-one personal, the other professional.
There are so many well written mysteries on the market that it seems a shame to spend money on this one.
Perhaps his other books are better.

The Ninth Step The Jack Leightner Crime Novels Book 4 edition by Gabriel Cohen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Excellent!
The Jack Leightner mystery series has consistently delivered a satisfying blend of geographic resonance, historical revelations, and psychological insight. Like Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder series or Dennis Lehane's Patrick and Angie mysteries, there is a relationship between the changing city and the evolution of the main characters, which is particularly engaging. Reading this series in sequence, starting with Red Hook, is highly recommended.It is worth a trip to the library to track down Red Hook, if you can't find it online. However, The Ninth Step is a stand-alone good read, rich in atmosphere and strong in story.
love it
GOOD READ, KEEPS INTEREST UP TILL THE LAST CHAPTER
These were the best books I have read this year. They had strong and consistent characterisation and plots. The evocation of both old and new New York City, especially the the borough's was superb.
Kept my attention, good book
I am a big fan of mysteries, especially those in series where the reader can get to know the characters. I read the first book of this series as a free book and loved it. I quickly purchased the next three. These books are more than mysteries. The main character is very well developed, and the books are character studies as well as thrillers. Although the mystery is solved at the end of each book, the pieces of the main character's life aren't tied up neatly, and the reader is left wanting to know more. This was #4 and the last one, and I'm wishing for more.
