In the wake of the high-profile double murders of a politically connected socialite and his glamorous fiancée, Abe Glitsky is placed at the head of the controversial investigation, which is complicated by a distrustful officer who uses the victim's past relationship with Glitsky's partner, Hardy, to contend that they are guilty of collusion. By the author of The Second Chair. 200,000 first printing.

Hailed for his “extraordinary” (Publishers Weekly) and “stunning” (Pittsburgh Tribune Review) writing, including his “incisively chiseled characters” (New York Times), Jonathon King is a former journalist and author of three previous critically acclaimed novels. his debut, The Blue Edge of Midnight, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and was a Los Angeles Times bestseller.
In this police procedural, series characters Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitzky become involved in a case of double murder and arson. Overall, the story suffers from bloat, smart characters who act stupidly at the author's convenience, and an unconvincing ending. But clever characterizations and a solid mystery prevail, and the skilled and agile reading of David Colacci keeps it involving. While Colacci does not excel at distinctive characterizations, we always know who's who in each scene, and he makes up for any lack with an engaging voice and good pacing.
