In her thirteenth outing, African-American homicide detective Marti MacAlister discovers that when the banks of the Des Plaines River overflow, the river divulges other secrets. Marti and her partner Vik are called to investigate the body of a female found by some boys playing in the flooded area. Additionally, their lieutenant expects them to keep working the sixty-year-old cold case of a male skeleton found with an obvious gunshot wound. As Marti and Vik dig deeper into both cases, they find amazing connections between the two apparently unrelated murders. Secrets harbored by Lincoln Park old-timers, and a Romanian priest, will have to be exposed before justice can be served. Bland, a Waukegan native, has written an excellent police procedural which fleshes out the characters by showing their trials and tribulations, both on the job and in their personal lives. no reviews | add a review

Chicago detective Marti MacAlister has her work cut out for her these days. First, during the filming of a big Hollywood movie on location in Lincoln Prairie, the body of one of the film's stars turns up dead, along the shores of the Des Plaines River. Then, the skeletal remains of another gunshot victim turn up in a hundred year old building that is being renovated. The closer Marti comes to piecing the clues of each case, the closer they come to understanding how the two cases are connected. But the longer it takes, the more dangerous the killer becomes. This next book in Eleanor Taylor Bland's acclaimed series is a captivating story that will engage both fans and new readers with its suspense and wit. No library descriptions found. |
