Synopsis

Ex-cop Jim Weir thought he'd seen it all during his years on the force. That is until he saw the body of his sister Annie, brutally used by a monster in human form, then carelessly discarded. He'd never seen such grief ravage the face of his friend and brother-in-law Ray Cruz, a good cop on the Newport Beach Police Department. When Weir learns that the only witness swore the killer made his escape in a Newport Beach squad car, his disbelief turns to confusion and outrage. Now the anguished Weir is on the killer's trail, looking for answers among his former colleagues, but he's going up against a solid wall of silent blue. And just out of sight, a fractured shadow of a man watches Jim's progress with twisted amusement as he waits for his time to come.

Goodreads review by K on September 21, 2021

I am conflicted about this one. I generally have found Parker's novels to be well written, well plotted stories that really move along at a fast clip. Pacific Beat is a mix, a bit uneven, and presents me with a conundrum, however. On the one hand, there are times when I was completely involved in the......more

Goodreads review by Bradley L. Stout on December 16, 2019

Things people do. Good story with multiple suspects, intricate plot twists, and a surprise ending that fails to explain why the six cops went after Wier. Was it on Dennisons orders? Overall a good read.......more
