Synopsis

When nobody talks, the stones cry out

In the searing heat of a Virginia summer, two men plummet from a roof top to their deaths on the sidewalk below. One of them was a white police officer. The other, a black man with a murky past. Hundreds of people stood on the sidewalk below, yet nobody will say what happened.

The FBI wants a quick verdict—with or without the truth—and sends in rookie agent Raleigh Harmon.

Between the tight-lipped witnesses and the secrets hidden among the city's most powerful families, Raleigh's forced to use her forensic geology skills to uncover the truth.  But can she solve this case before the city's simmering rage burns out of control?

And will her choices bring down everyone involved—including Raleigh herself?

Praise for the Raleigh Harmon series
“Giorello has won the Christy Award and has received two Pulitzer Prize nominations. When you read this book, you’ll see why.”
—Booklist, Starred Review
“Read her for her wonderfully descriptive prose, her killer plots or her well-drawn characters, but read her. You’ll come away enriched in deep and plentiful ways.”—The Richmond Times-Dispatch

About this title

From the Back Cover:

When nobody talks...the stones cry out.

During a rally in the searing heat of a Virginia summer, two men plummet from a building into the crowd below. The victims are a white police officer and a young black man with a troubled past. And though hundreds of people stood at the scene, nobody saw what happened. Or are they just not talking?

FBI agent Raleigh Harmon, one of Richmond's own, has to solve the case--and fast. The Bureau wants a quick verdict, with or without the truth. But with tight-lipped witnesses, Raleigh must rely on her instincts and her training in forensic geology to uncover the facts. Working her connections with the city's powerful families and its seedy underbelly, Raleigh is determined to see justice prevail. Will she solve the case before the growing racial unrest rages out of control? Or will her choices ultimately bring down everyone involved--including Raleigh herself?
