The David S. Krause novels tell the story of our favorite NYPD Detective after the timeline of the prequels. SPECULATION: I’m pretty sure there won’t be a one-to-one match, but it seems like their timeline will be generally concurrent with the main storyline, give or take a few years. So far it seems that you’ll be able to read them without being familiar with the prequel events, but things will most likely make more sense if you are.
