The Squad Room

"This compelling murder mystery offers everyone a small glimpse into life in law enforcement." — Foreword Reviews

Bill Morrison's life is falling apart. He is a shadow of his former self, consumed with grief after his son was killed in the line of duty. Captain of the New York City Police Department and a world class investigator, Bill is still well-respected by his peers. Yet, his second marriage is in shambles and he finds solace in an affair and the numbing effects of alcohol.


Amidst these personal struggles, Bill and his team are tasked with hunting down a ferocious serial killer and sexual predator that is terrorizing New York City. If that wasn't enough, corrupt officers threaten to derail the investigation as Bill and his Detective Squad race against time to bring the murderer to justice.


There have been countless crime dramas written about murder mysteries, but rarely written by two actual Police Chiefs. Co-written by retired NYPD Chief John Cutter and retired City of Stamford Chief of Police Bob Nivakoff, The Squad Room touches on their real life experiences through the lens of fiction.
