Synopsis

For homicide lieutenant Jane Candiotti, stress is part of the job. But now that she and her husband are expecting their first child, Jane is under strict instructions to take it easy. A tall order on an average day, yet never more so than when a mass shooting at a local restaurant claims six victims—including her teenaged nephew. Jane’s always been professional. But this time, it’s personal.Before she can bring a baby into this world, Jane vows to hunt down the monster who didn’t think twice about shooting an innocent kid. But every thread of evidence leads her deeper into a tangled web of deception, violence, and murder. Her only hope of navigating the twisting turns of this case is to enlist the help of a dangerous ex-con, one who could shed light on the connection between the death of her nephew and a decades-old murder case—eventually leading her to the most shocking discovery of her career.

Clyde Phillips is a sonofabitch. This smug bastard had the audacity to write a novel filled with wonderful characters and poignant prose and peppered it with San Francisco details and scenery, and detectives and lieutenants actually working through the case in a methodical, reasonable manner where d......more

Goodreads review by Jacob Dzik

I was a huge fan of this series and they were as good as any police procedurals out there. I really like Clyde Phillips and his work not only in these books but Dexter seasons 1-4 and New Blood. I really look forward to watching the seasons of Nurse Jackie where he was the showrunner. I would love t......more

Goodreads review by Barbara

A half dozen people are in a cafe, and will be victims of a mass shooting. No spoiler - you know this right off, and if you've read enough in the genre, you know that only one of the victims is the target and the others are pretty much collateral. Now, it's not hard to figure out who the target it......more

Quotes

“A worthy addition to this series by the former executive producer of the television series, Dexter.” —Suspense Magazine“The first chapter in this book is one of the greatest openers I’ve read in the genre. I’m telling you that I’d have finished the last 350 pages if they read like the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. Fortunately, that is not the case. Mr. Phillips unwinds this murderous tangle, strand by taut strand, until we arrive at the one piece that unknots the mess.” —Martha’s Vineyard(MA) Times“Just about the best detective mystery I’ve ever read…As a criminal lawyer for half a century, I thought that nothing about crime could surprise me, but Unthinkable surprised me over and over again and kept me up at night until I finished it at 4AM.” —Alan Dershowitz, author of Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law and The Case for Peace
