Beschreibung

Hollywood homicide detective Petra Connor has helped psychologist Alex Dela ware crack tough cases in the past, most recently in Jonathan Kellerman's N ew York Times bestseller A Cold Heart. Now the complex and wryly compassion ate 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. driv e-by. Of the four seemingly random victims, one stands out: a girl with pin k shoes who cannot be identified-and who, days later, remains a Jane Doe. W ith zero leads and no apparent motive, it's another case destined for the c old file-until Petra decides to follow her instincts and descends into a wo rld of traveling grifters and bloodthirsty killers, pursuing a possible eye witness 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.
