The most exciting new crime voice you’ll read this year!
Fifteen years ago her mother’s killer got away. Has he finally struck again?
MURDERSHOCKSPEACEFULNEIGHBOURHOOD
A woman in her thirties. Found naked and stabbed on the kitchen floor. Discovered by her twelve-year-old daughter after school.
As top Savannah crime reporter Harper McClain stares at the horrific scene before her, one thought screams through her mind. This murder is identical to another murder she has witnessed. Her mother’s murder…
For fifteen years, Harper has been torn apart by the knowledge that her mother’s killer is walking free. And now, it seems he’s struck again. There are no fingerprints. No footprints. No DNA. Yet still, Harper is determined to discover the truth once and for all.
But that search will come at a cost…and it could be one she isn’t ready to pay.

A thoroughly enjoyable read of the American crime genre, I love Robert Crais and while this book didn’t have the humour of Crais’ Elvis Cole/Pike series for example, there was plenty to enjoy here with its gutsy heroine, the good guy photographer, atmospheric location in Savannah and a shoal of red herrings. There were many tense moments, so that the book was gripping from the start. Highly recommended.
