A detective caught between screen and reality

In Split Screen, Detective Eve Ronin’s identity as both a real Los Angeles County sheriff’s detective and a television character becomes central to a case of mistaken—or concealed—intent. After the actress portraying Eve is shot following a ride-along, the investigation draws Eve into overlapping dangers: pressure from a new sheriff, threats to her partner, and a criminal conspiracy connected to a half sister she did not know she had. The premise uses the collision between public image and police work to frame a procedural mystery, with danger coming from both outside the department and within it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy police-procedural mysteries with a detective at the center.
  • Readers interested in crime plots involving media fame, family ties, and institutional pressure.

Book overview

Reality and fiction collide in shocking violence for Detective Eve Ronin in a propulsive thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

When Erin Casey, the actress who plays LASD detective Eve Ronin on TV, is gunned down after a ride-along, the intended target is obvious: the real Eve. What isn't obvious is why.

As Eve hunts the shooter, her world fractures into more deadly reflections. The new sheriff forces Eve to exploit her fame to burnish his image--or he'll destroy her partner, Duncan. And a reckless half sister Eve never knew she had pulls her toward a criminal conspiracy that's already dumped a corpse in a Topanga Canyon ravine.

To save Erin, protect her half sister, and survive herself, Eve must find the killers before they strike again--and before her enemies inside the department finish the job for them.
