The idyllic Catalina Island proves to have a heart darker than the big city in this enthralling standalone police procedural from the bestselling author of the Ballard and Bosch thrillers.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland.
But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, he starts doggedly working the case.
Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.
MEDIA REVIEWS
Told in Connelly's deceptively understated style, the story is richly detailed when it comes to island life but delivers its essentials in the pared-back prose of the classic crime novel. - Irish Times
Twisty mystery from a master of the genre. - Mail on Sunday
Vividly described... A great story. - The Times
It's superbly plotted and gripping - as always from the master of hard-boiled American crime. - Peterborough Telegraph
Nightshade : The Brand New Blockbuster Thriller from the Number One Bestseller
