But a frantic phone call from a snitch threatens to destroy everything she is and everything she's earned. Pulled from the bright lights of the Homicide office onto the shadowy night streets, she arrives at a clandestine meet just in time to see the frightened informer shot dead ... by another cop. Now Kate is a target, on a trail of dirty deals, corruption, and escalating violence show more that reaches back into her own troubled family history and deep into a department riddled with dark secrets and truths that kill. Suddenly Kate Gillespie is teetering on a "blue wall of silence" and being set up to take a long, fatal fall -- by a relentless killer who's hiding in plain sight. show lessTags

Not a bad book. As usual there are quite a few storylines flying around the main plot, that Gillespie gets shot at. My favorite is Kevin's story, though like the rest of the subplots it wasn't the happiest of plots.
That's one of the parts of the novel that got a bit tedious. It was so much of a downer, with not much of it not only not having happiness in it, but it doesn't even really have much humor in it. I believe that a novel needs to have a balance between the serious and lighter parts of a story. Fatal truth had great serious parts, but at every turn that's all there was.
Another slight point about this novel is that I never quite got the sense that it took place in San Francisco. It could have taken place in LA, Boston, or New show more York, New York (except for the star Inspector badges).
Any okay book and an interesting mystery, just not one of my top ten picks. show less
