The Chiara Corelli Mystery series by Catherine Maiorisi features NYPD Detective Chiara Corelli, a cop who did the right thing and suffered for it. After turning in corrupt fellow officers, Corelli finds herself isolated and threatened. The department pairs her with Detective P.J. Parker, who initially wants nothing to do with her.
Starting with A Matter of Blood in 2018, the series follows Corelli and Parker through five investigations, each dealing with a different facet of crime in New York City. The “blood” theme runs through most of the titles, tying the books together. As the cases pile up, the relationship between Corelli and Parker grows from forced partnership into something much stronger.
