A Measure of Darkness

A wild party in a gentrifying East Bay neighbourhood. A heated argument that spills into the street. Gunshots. Chaos. When the smoke clears, the mystery reveals itself: there is one victim whose death doesn't match the others. She has been brutalized and abandoned, stripped of ID and left to die: it falls to Deputy Coroner Clay Edison to give her a name and a voice. The fantastic follow-up to "Crime Scene" by masters of the psychological thriller genre Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman.
