A killer mystery that takes you through all the details to an exciting climax. Filled with newspaper and police jargon, explained for the uninitiated. The main character is nicely flawed, and that makes him believable. If you get lost in the details, there is a good summary, written for the e-tabloid of the title’s namesake, to sum it all up. There are a couple of “I wonder about that” moments in the story, but none that derail the thrust of the narrative. This story is by a well-published, experienced writer that kept me reading, although I normally do not read such stories. The facts presented about DNA are, as far as I know, correct. All the common e-technology we have today (most of which I don’t use) are available to the characters and seem correct and in line with the time of the story. I enjoyed the scenes in Los Angeles County, CA, where I grew up.
