A River City Crime Novel #4
Every city has organized crime. But only River City has a Russian gangster like Valeriy. He’s meticulous, cunning, and willing to sacrifice anything–and anyone–to see his conquest through.
In Val’s way are the men and women of the River City Police Department, including rookie B.J. Carson. She’s trying to fill the shoes of a well-respected officer while the pressures of patrol and her own past catch up to her. She and her colleagues must unite and work together with a former River City cop turned FBI agent to face down the single biggest organized crime threat River City has ever seen.
This novel explores what honor and courage mean on both sides of the law, weaving a complex and engrossing story of crime, justice, and relationships. There are plotters and detectives, usurpers and leaders. Plans within plans. And in the end the price of victory and justice can both be high…and every man has to die.
Takes place in 1998.

REVIEWS:
“Above all, the crime genre prides itself on pacing, and this is where Zafiro delivers. He knows when a bit of slack only serves to heighten the tension; and the romance, brutality, scheming, arguments, heart-to-hearts, jovial banter, and, of course, death are dished out in just the right amounts in the right places. And Every Man Has to Die is a one sitting read for all the right reasons.”
– E.J. Iannelli, The Inlander
