About the Cooper Devereaux series
Cooper Devereaux is a police detective in Birmingham, Alabama, whose personal losses have left him with little left to lose — which makes him both an effective investigator and a liability to everyone around him. Andrew Grant's second series moves from his earlier espionage work (David Trevellyan) into grittier American police-procedural territory: False Positive (2015) introduces Devereaux investigating a case tangled with his own past, and False Friend (2017) and False Witness (2018) continue his story across the Birmingham police department.
