PRE-ORDER THE NEW THRILLER FROM MILLION COPY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER MICHAEL CONNELLY Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic
Catalina Island after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But
while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new
territory Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down
at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction he starts
doggedly working the case. Soon his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a
dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.
