Following the death of his wife and daughter, Colm Truesdale is left mentally scarred. After time off, and with no desire to return to the courtroom, Truesdale is brought back into the investigation of the murder of a young woman who ran a beauty salon outside of town. When a page from her appointment book goes missing, and then the crime scene burns down, it’s up to Colm to untangle the web of deception that implicates a powerful judge and his family.
Taking readers inside the cat-and-mouse psychology of a killer and the assistant district attorney who must catch him, this thrilling fiction debut from bestselling author Trey Gowdy and celebrated author Christopher Greyson will keep you guessing until the very last page.
Customer Reviews
The color of death
I liked the book, until the very end. I assume this bizarre and cryptic end was intended to be a cliff hanger to set up a sequel. But I was left wondering who was hanging off the cliff and why. If Mr. Gowdy could rewrite the last two chapters, I’d give it an extra star.
AWESOME!!!
A true depiction of the criminal justice system!
Bravo to Gowdy
This was an outstanding legal procedural and well thought out mystery. I can’t wait for an encore of the same genre.Watch out John Grisham.
