Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s thrilling series continues as Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite is plunged into a case of family secrets and murder…

“Another outstanding novel from one of the best crime writers in the business.” --Associated Press

Called in to consult after a young woman disappears, Tracy Crosswhite has the uneasy feeling that this is no ordinary missing-persons case. When the body turns up in an abandoned well, Tracy’s suspicions are confirmed. Estranged from her family, the victim had balked at an arranged marriage and had planned to attend graduate school. But someone cut her dreams short.

Solving the mystery behind the murder isn’t Tracy’s only challenge. The detective is keeping a secret of her own: she’s pregnant. And now her biggest fear seems to be coming true when a new detective arrives to replace her. Meanwhile, Tracy’s colleague Vic Fazzio is about to take a fall after his investigation into the murder of a local community activist turns violent and leaves an invaluable witness dead.

Two careers are on the line. And when more deadly secrets emerge, jobs might not be the only things at risk.

Great Series!

I've listened to all six books and this is by far the best series I've ever read. The narrator really brings it to life and the flow from one book to another was wonderful.

A Steep Price

White waiting for a verdict on a court case, Detective Tracy Crosswhite is contacted by a friend who works in Missing Persons. Graduate student Kavita Muhkerjee was recently reported missing by her roommate. She was estranged from her family. Kavita wanted to go to medical school to become a doctor, but her family wanted to arrange a marriage for her. As Tracy interviews Kavita's friends and family, her fellow detectives as looking into the murder of Monique Rodgers, an activist who was very vocal against gangs and drugs.

We have two very good cases in this book. While the detectives are busy with their various cases, Tracy is hiding her pregnancy from her Captain. She is afraid her secret is out when Captain Nolasco hires a new female detective to work with them. There is something suspicious about Detective Andrea Gonzalez and her actions.

I enjoyed this book and both of the mysteries, though I thought the resolution of the Rodgers murder could have been clearer. I enjoyed Emily Sutton-Smith's narration. I highly recommend this series.
