"Cop Sam McGowan has been retired for one day when his landlord takes a dive off the roof of his building. The San Francisco police want to call it a suicide, but all signs point to murder. Sam talks to his neighbors on the top floor and finds that every one of them hated the dead man. Fast-paced, rollicking humor and characters right out of a—well, a 1930s Agatha Christie country house mystery—make this one of the best from from the award-wining author of the Cape Weathers series " -- Library Journal
“JUMP is smart, sexy, fast and funny. A great ride.”
—Robert Ferrigno, NY Times bestselling author of Sins Of The Assassin
"If you want a laugh-out-loud funny caper, a detective with a thawing heart of gold, seedy streets of San Francisco, and the cleverest of plot twists, you'll love Jump. Maleeny is terrific, irreverent fun, and I hope Sam McGowan and his neighbors make a return appearance. What a treat!"
— Deborah Crombie, bestselling author of Where Memories Lie
"Jump is an attention-grabbing collision at the corner of Caper and Whodunnit—a hip, good-natured, thoroughly 21st-century book that will remind you how much fun a good old-fashioned murder mystery can be. Tim Maleeny brings it all off with humor and high style. You’ll enjoy this one."
— Sean Doolittle, bestselling author of Safer
"Tim Maleeny covers San Francisco like the evening fog, and his prose hits like a balpeen hammer. With his latest outing, Maleeny jumps into the forefront of crime fiction writers. Jump has legs."
— Paul Levine, bestselling author of Illegal
"A traditional mystery with a modern slant. Fast and wicked, Jump will keep you turning the pages with characters and a plot that are straight from a police blotter."
— James O. Born, bestselling author of Burn Zone
