Forgotten Place

(Book 3, Eriksson Series)

An early morning at physical therapy to rehabilitate Helen Eriksson's recent injury turns into a nightmare rife with déjà vu for the Darkwater Bay police department. Helen interrupts an attack on a young woman - the daughter of former Assistant District Attorney David Ireland - on the anniversary of his murder.

Helen leaps at the opportunity to finally link a crime to her personal nemesis Danny Datello, long suspected in the murder-for-hire of ADA Ireland. Knowing he's guilty is a far cry from proving it, however, especially when the evidence Ireland had that incriminated him was never recovered. Now, it seems that something has prompted Datello to search for this elusive proof of guilt and destroy it at any cost.

Like everything else in Darkwater Bay, nothing is as it seems on the surface. As Helen and her fellow detectives race to beat Datello and his hired guns to the evidence, another link to Jerry Lowe seems to cement Helen's theory that Datello is the criminal heart of the city. But while she's focused on her quenching her desire for revenge, Helen dismisses her instincts that tell her something about this case doesn't quite add up.
