A cold case preoccupies Tracy Crosswhite in Dugoniโs well-plotted third crime novel featuring the Seattle homicide detective (after 2015โs Her Final Breath). Klickitat County Sheriff Jenny Almond asks Tracy to take a look at a file that Jennyโs late father, retired sheriff Buzz Almond, held on to for forty years. One night in 1976, high school senior Kimi Kanasket never made it home from the diner where she worked. Her body was later found in the White Salmon River, and her death was ruled a suicide. Buzz, then a deputy sheriff, did his duty by retracing Kimiโs route home, but he was later told by the detective in charge, Jerry Ostertag, to leave the investigation alone. In the present, Buzzโs file and the help of experts like senior crime scene analyst Kaylee Wright and forensic anthropologist Kelly Rosa put Tracy on the trail of four former high school football stars known as the Four Ironmen. Tracy displays ingenuity and bravery as she strives to figure out who killed Kimi.
โTracy is a well-crafted character...Readers of the first two books will enjoy this one, and, because it can be read as a stand-alone, newcomers can jump right in.โ โ*Booklist*
