A young woman
is found dead in a remote restroom at a downtown L.A. wedding reception. She has been both injected with a knockout
drug and choked with a wire. No one in
the wedding party claims to know the victim so Detective Milo Sturgis and
psychologist Alex Delaware must dig deep into each family and into the owners
of the building (a former strip club) to find even the scent of a clue. The sleuths must rely on their vast
experience and intuition just to identify the body. Then their suppositions lead them down many
blind allies. Only their tenacity moves
them forward.
This is a
very typical Jonathan Kellerman creation. Number 34 in the series, character development is glossed
over. But the following of educated,
almost implausible hunches and suspenseful pacing, for which Kellerman is a
master, keep you engaged to the end.
Thanks to
Netgalley for the advance look.
