Lena Gamble is an LAPD cop held in disgrace by department higher-ups for
the explosive way her last case played out, though she's still hailed as
a hero by her colleagues for catching the killer. For her punishment,
she hasn't handled a real murder investigation in eight months. When the
chief finally tosses her a case, she's thrilled until she gets a look at
the scene and realizes he's probably setting her up to be exiled once
and for all: the victim is unidentified, and there are no witnesses, and
no leads. Just the body, chopped into pieces and dropped in a Dumpster -
gruesome enough to ensure that, once again, the media will be following
Lena's every move. Robert Ellis delivers another high-speed, powerful
read, featuring one of the most engaging and vibrant police characters
on the shelf today.
