Description
It’s Oscar night in Hollywood, and after years of climbing the entertainment ladder, media darling Meredith Johansen has finally taken home a gold statue. Across town, rookie Detective Patricia Norelli is working late with hopes of breaking through her own glass ceiling with a promotion in the LAPD.
Their paths unexpectedly collide when Johansen is discovered dead in her Bel Air home, only hours after Oscar night festivities ended.
With a note but few clues, authorities rule it a suicide. Norelli’s instinct says murder—a hunch worth risking a pending promotion to prove otherwise.
When a long list of suspects emerges, she and partner Detective Stuart Brown find themselves entangled in a chaotic series of lies. Trying to find the real killer amidst a web of deception, Norelli and Brown lose ground when a key suspect turns up dead.
Then in the middle of reworking hunches, Norelli gets too close to the truth and lands in the trap of a pathological serial killer.
If you like Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch and John Sanford’s Lucas Davenport, you’ll enjoy David Temple’s Pat Norelli.
