The murderer isn't identified early in the book, which keeps the book interesting as you consider which of many possible suspects may be the guilty party. ( ) Once again, Parker plumbs the seedy world of Southern California politics and corruption in the context of the execution of an ex-cop, ethics investigator, who appears to have been murdered for what he has uncovered in respect of a local prostitution ring. The detective uses the case to help resolve his own inner demons (synethesia) and abandonment by the wife he adores. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Distincions
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am twenty-nine years old.I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector. After three years, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the colors and shapes of other people's feelings, unless they don't match up with their words.When Garrett Asplundh's body is found under a San Diego bridge, Robbie Brownlaw and his partner, McKenzie Cortez, are called on to the case. After the tragic death of his child and the dissolution of his marriage, Garrett--regarded as an honest, straight-arrow officer--left the SDPD to become an ethics investigator, looking into the activities of his former colleagues. At first his death, which takes place on the eve of a reconciliation with his ex, looks like suicide, but the clues Brownlaw and Cortez find just don't add up. With pressure mounting from the police and the city's politicians, Brownlaw fights to find the truth, all the while trying to hold on to his own crumbling marriage. Was Garrett's death an "execution" or a crime of passion, a personal vendetta or the final step in an elaborate cover-up? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
