LAPD Detective Stilwell was forced out of the Homicide department and sent to a dead-end post on Santa Catalina Island.
But when the idyllic holiday destination is rocked by report of a body found in the harbour, weighed down by an anchor, Stilwell has a point to prove to his superiors - and will cross every line to solve the murder himself.
It's sink or swim, as failure will cost him everything while finding the killer will make him a target and reveal the dark heart of his new home.
But on a small island with big secrets - someone is always watching...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From the razor-sharp mind that brought us Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller comes a new character in police procedurals: Detective Stilwell, who’s been demoted from working homicide in Los Angeles to patrolling a sleepy outpost on nearby Catalina Island. But that newfound quietude is shattered when a body is discovered in the local harbour. All of Michael Connelly’s hallmarks are present in his 40th novel, including clever plotting and curt, snappy dialogue. As Stilwell follows a trail that, at his own risk, leads him ever further into deep-seated corruption, a man who has never played well within the system must now forcibly push back against it.
