Summary

One dead coach. Countless secrets. Zero suspects. Can Detective Lisbon find the killer?

A hit-and-run victim lies shattered on a sunlit street. The victim: Dale Collins, legendary coach of the Yorkville Scorpions. After decades of heartbreak, his team was finally on the verge of their first championship. Now, they’re reeling from a murder that’s left a community in shock.

The killers were meticulous. No DNA. No prints. No witnesses. Nothing but questions.

For Detective Sergeant Jack Lisbon, an ex-boxer haunted by his own demons, this case cuts deep. Together with DC Claudia Taylor, he’s racing to untangle a web of long-buried grudges and dark secrets. Their suspect list reads like a stadium roster—each with the motive and means to want Collins dead.

As the playoffs loom and pressure mounts, Lisbon and Taylor discover that in Yorkville, vengeance is a game played for the highest stakes.

In Shot Clock, the second installment in Blair Denholm’s gripping The Fighting Detective series, readers are taken on a heart-pounding journey through the gritty underbelly of a town gripped by fear.
