The third book in the new series featuring DCI Monika Paniatowski - When a recently released prisoner claims in a deathbed confession that he is innocent of the rape and murder of a young girl for which he was convicted twenty-two years earlier, DCI Monika Paniatowski is tasked to lead an unofficial investigation into his claims. At first she is reluctant, but when she learns that her old mentor Charlie Woodend was the lead detective in the case, she knows she must do everything she can to protect his reputation . . .
"Shifting seamlessly between past and present versions of the case, Spencer produces a tour de force readers won't quickly forget" Kirkus Reviews Starred Review and selected as one of their Top 12 Mysteries for 2011 "Spencer's crisp third police procedural to feature plucky Det. Chief Insp. Monika Paniatowski offers an intriguing look at '70s style crime solving" Publishers Weekly "Fans of Spencer's popular Charlie Woodend series may have worried that when Charlie retired and his sidekick, Monika Paniatowski, took over, the series would never be the same. Never fear: Spencer's spinoff featuring Paniatowski is just as compelling, entertaining, and cleverly plotted as the original. " "A plot full of unusual twists, a flawed but likable and competent heroine, and a very satisfying conclusion make this a must-read for Spencer fans" Booklist Starred Review "Spencer's third series title (after The Dead Hand of History and The Ring of Death) reflects the author's empathy and understanding of human nature as her characters display a gamut of emotions and behaviors. The result is a near-perfect mix of procedural and top-notch mystery" Library Journal Starred Review
