Veteran homicide detective Brian (Brick) Kavanagh is assigned to the case. He's shocked when he learns the victim is connected to another homicide which makes the investigation very personal for him.

Good police procedural story

Washington, DC homicide police detective, Brick Kavanaugh, is investigating the murder of a young woman whose body is fished from the Tidal Basin. To his shock, the young woman is the sister of a hard working young Guatemalan man, Jose’, who has been working at a local pub. Then Jose’s body is discovered at his apartment, the gang symbol for MS-XIII with his body. The local ICE agents round up a few gang members, one confesses and the MPD wraps up the case. Brick has his doubts, it was too easy...will he uncover the truth before it’s too late? Great narration keeps you engaged with the protagonist and the secondary characters. Definitely recommend if you enjoy this genre.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent

Good plot and police protocol. One at first thought it might be immigrant or drug problems. Then when the brother of the murder sister turns up. He knew there was more to it. Given audio which added to this story and I enjoyed. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
