Hollywood homicide detective Petra Connor has helped psychologist Alex Delaware crack tough cases in the past. And in Jonathan Kellerman s New York Times bestseller Billy Straight she took the lead in the desperate hunt for a teenage runaway stalked by a vengeful murderer. Now the complex and wryly compassionate Petra is once again at the center of the action, in a novel of cunning twists and page-turning suspense.
Lifeless bodies sprawl in a dance-club parking lot after a brutal L.A. drive-by. Of the four seemingly random victims, one stands out: a girl with pink shoes who cannot be identified and who, days later, remains a Jane Doe. With zero leads and no apparent motive, it s another case destined for the cold file until Petra decides to follow her instincts and descends into a world of traveling grifters and bloodthirsty killers, pursuing a possible eyewitness whose life is in mortal danger.
Finding her elusive quarry alive isn t all Petra has on her plate: departmental politics threatens to sabotage her case, and her personal life isn t doing much better. If all that wasn t enough, Isaac Gomez, a whiz-kid grad student researching homicide statistics at the station house, is convinced he s stumbled upon a bizarre connection between several unsolved murders. The victims had nothing in common, yet each died by the same method, on the same date a date that s rapidly approaching again. And that leaves Petra with little time to unravel the twisted logic of a cunning predator who s evaded detection for years and whose terrible hour is once more at hand.
