Synopsis

The setting is Carmel, California — a scenic, peaceful tourist haven where James Dewitt is the police force's only detective. His usual caseload is stolen bicycles and an occasional burglary. But things change with frightening speed when a series of apparent suicides, which soon prove to be murders, shocks the community. Dewitt, a former forensic scientist, struggles with the minutest of clues in his quest for the killer, while departmental turf wars and local politics increase the pressures on his investigation. But his steps are dogged by renegade ex-cop Howard Lumbrowski, the man Dewitt blames for his wife's death. How is Lumbrowski connected to the killings? And why does he have information from Dewitt's confidential files? Dewitt finds himself playing a dangerous game, breaking his own rules in his desperate search for answers. And as the case takes another murderous twist, the past comes back to haunt Dewitt. He will have to fight to save his reputation — and his life.

Was not terribly impressed with this story. A bit disappointing since the first book I picked up by Pearson was pretty damn good. I'm hoping this was just a fluke.......more

This is an older Pearson book. It’s a good one. The action starts on page one when the main character, James Dewitt’s family is attacked in a courtroom, with his wife ending up dead and one of his daughters in a coma. Trying to change his life after that incident, he leaves his work as a Forensic In......more
