An ID Book Club Selection
Clay Edison has his hands full. He s got a new baby who won't sleep. He s working the graveyard shift. And he s trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child. But whose? And how did it get there?
No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister. She went missing fifty years ago, the man says. Or at least I think she did. It s a little complicated.
And things only get stranger from there. Clay s relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn t dead. It s very much alive. And it can be murderous.
Rezension:
Praise for the Clay Edison series
As for the keen sense of drama, it must be a genetic trait. . . . Unlike most crime writers (not to mention most of their readers), who revel in the bloody aftermath of a violent encounter, the Kellermans show compassion for the survivors, including conscientious officials like Edison. The New York Times Book Review
Edison is an interesting protagonist, a good man for whom finding the truth is more important than anything else, including his own safety. He s gentle and strong, compassionate and ruthless, methodical and impulsive. Booklist
Praise for Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman
Jonathan Kellerman s psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix. Los Angeles Times
[Jesse] Kellerman has a gift for creating compelling characters as well as for crafting an ingenious plot that grabs the reader and refuses to let go. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
