New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s thrilling series continues as Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite is plunged into a case of family secrets and murder…

“Another outstanding novel from one of the best crime writers in the business.” --Associated Press

Called in to consult after a young woman disappears, Tracy Crosswhite has the uneasy feeling that this is no ordinary missing-persons case. When the body turns up in an abandoned well, Tracy’s suspicions are confirmed. Estranged from her family, the victim had balked at an arranged marriage and had planned to attend graduate school. But someone cut her dreams short.

Solving the mystery behind the murder isn’t Tracy’s only challenge. The detective is keeping a secret of her own: she’s pregnant. And now her biggest fear seems to be coming true when a new detective arrives to replace her. Meanwhile, Tracy’s colleague Vic Fazzio is about to take a fall after his investigation into the murder of a local community activist turns violent and leaves an invaluable witness dead.

Two careers are on the line. And when more deadly secrets emerge, jobs might not be the only things at risk.

A flat out peak adventures

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2018

There are two unconnected murder stories here that cross over only at the police station. This does get confusing. The author is trying to fit too much in and doesn't quite get it right but pretty good.

The first is a missing person then death of an Indian descent American student. The story revolves around arranged marriages and family honour. It also involves becoming a escort to finance medical school through a sugar daddy website.

Robert has undertaken his usual research but his take on this is through the eyes of a person unfamiliar with traditional Indian culture. Tracy is diverted by overlaying her values onto the case and the investigation becomes bogged down. Eventually as Tracy thinks to herself the answer is obvious.

This story allows Tracy to step through her pregnancy and some of the real issues women have to face in life and the workplace. Trying to contrast this to another culture doesn't quite come off.

The second story has Robert on more familiar ground drugs and gangs. The murder of a local activist for her campaign against gangs and drugs. The person of interest, a local gang leader, is obvious. The story is about the detective work to bring him to justice. This becomes very personal and dangerous.

The inclusion of a new detective In the team causes some waves. Who is she? We have Detective Faz facing personal problems and health issues for his wife. Overall interesting but not quite up to five stars.

OMG my heart, I wanted to jump ahead to find out what happened. I just love the A team, 2 different cases one a young woman who wanted to become a doctor and refused to live up to expectations of her family where she should get married have a family and not work. The second one trying to find out who shot a woman trying to keep drugs of the streets and do her best for the kids to have a better future. My heart broke when Faz and Vera got some devastating news.

Another social issue looked at in this well researched and written crime series.

Reviewed in Australia on 14 February 2020

Mr. Dugoni has published another quality book covering a social issue, this time of arranged marriages from the points of view of two young women and their families living in the US. With no preaching or bias an intelligent story-line emerges from the murder of one of the women. Tracy Crosswhite as the lead investigator brings the investigation to a close. Drug trafficking is also dealt with in a parallel investigation by close members of Tracy's A team violent crimes members. The characters' lives are further progressed in this novel. Highly recommended.

Quite enjoyable reading.

Reviewed in Australia on 18 March 2019

Just like the predecessors to this book, it stays focussed and moving. It doesn’t get bogged down with extraneous bumf and the stories are completed and questions answered. In reality the book probably only deserves three and a half stars because it is fairly simple and straightforward........and the ending, fairly predictable. I like something that has possibly a little more meat to the story.
Still......an enjoyable read that I wanted to finish so I could get all the pieces in place. If there is a number 7, I’ll be looking out for it anyway.

Tracey Crosswhite entire series

Reviewed in Australia on 17 November 2018

I have really enjoyed every one of this series - have just binged read them in order and found that kept the theme rolling along nicely. Each book could be read on its own without the series but think the continuity is better. Each book though has a different event/murder which shows the author has talent to pull the reader into each story but each book's background blends together. Feel they are very well researched. This is an excellent author and I will continue to read each and every book he writes.
Highly recommended. To the author, thank you.

A good read, with lots of police and personal issues, and some surprises. Some sadness, but a great ending, and I have to admit that I got pretty emotional at the end!
Six down, more to look forward to!

I have found a number of things about this author that fascinate me , he never put all his eggs in one basket . By this I mean he has a tendency not to have the one dashing hero that masterfully solves all the crimes . Instead he has lots of ordinary folk who do the hard work with determination and dedication and in my opinion this makes for good reading . Well done again Robert Dugoni .

Another enjoyable Tracy Crosswhite Novel

Reviewed in Australia on 26 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I stumbled across this series of books this year and have managed to read all of them in the past 6 months. So clearly I am enjoying them. I find that they are a quick, light read and usually something I finish in a night or two. This book develops some of the other characters that are regulars in the Crosswhite series which was a nice addition. If you have read the other novels in the series you will enjoy this one too.

Well researched

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2021

This is the 6th book in the Tracy Crosswhite series by author Robert Dugoni. This excellent series is getting stronger and stronger and this one proved to be the best yet.

When a woman disappears, Detective Tracy Crosswhite is convinced this is no ordinary missing person case and her suspicions are confirmed when her body is discovered in an abandoned well, The woman was estranged from her family following a disagreement over an arranged marriage and had planned to attend graduate school.

As well as investigating this far from easy case Tracy is hiding the secret that she is pregnant. And now her biggest fear seems to be coming true when a new detective arrives to replace her. Tracy’s colleague Vic Fazzio is about to take a fall after his investigation into the murder of a local community activist turns violent and leaves an invaluable witness dead.

Two careers are on the line. And when more deadly secrets emerge, jobs might not be the only things at risk.

I love this series, it so much more than a crime series and all the side issues and distractions make it a very entertaining read. Well researched plots and great characters are the strength to this series.

Another Gem

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2019

And yet another gem in this terrific series. I enjoy it so much (even though I get a bit left behind as I have to wait till the prices drop a bit first).....of the 6 there was only one I didn't give 5* to, which is really good going.
It's nice to sit down and once more reacquaint myself with Tracy and her cohorts. Tracy doesn't really appear as much in this story, though. It doesn't matter, however, as it's good to concentrate on other members of the squad now and then. I knew from the dedication at the beginning that something awful was going to happen to someone in this story, and he did a great job in taking us along on that particular journey. I did find myself feeling as though I had homework set a few times, though, as he kept writing Spanish phrases and I had to keep getting them translated !! This and just one solitary missed-off apostrophe are my only gripes so presentation is also spot-on. I was interested to read that sunshine can destroy DNA. I had never known this before now and neither that the Medical Examiner usually makes death notifications there as opposed to the police, though that might only be in Washington State.
This one had the nicest cover so far I've seen on his books. There were a few passages or remarks that I found very amusing in it, mostly in Faz's dealings with the local gangstas' !
I did figure out "whodunnit" quickly on one of the parallel cases but that spoilt nothing about it. Makes a change for me to guess right, though, as it isn't usually the case. Another observation from me, and not only in regards to this set of books, is the times Americans refer to compass points, whereas I'd have said on the left or right-hand side of something, for example. They do it a great deal.....although I know my NESW I probably couldn't say at any given time that somebody went southwards or eastwards, for example, yet they seem to do it without thinking over there. I find that interesting.
Once again this is a tremendous thriller and the series is great and I highly recommend this author.

Interesting and Exciting.

I have enjoyed all the other books in this series in which Tracy Crosswhite features most prominently. In this book she is perhaps not the principle character. I thought it perhaps the best of the lot, with two strands of investigation described. Very interesting references to the differences in attitudes to the family in different cultures. An excellent read.

Absolutely superb

Wow! This book is terrific. I have read 5 of Robert Dugoni’s books and have never been disappointed. He really gets to the hearts of his characters. This was definitely a ‘cracker’. The storyline was heartwarming as well as in some cases quite sad. It’s ending kept you on your toes, wondering who the perpetrator of this dreadful crime was. Some readers may form their own opinions, I had mine.
Without a doubt, this book is well worth reading. So enjoy. I can’t praise RD enough. Well done. I will definitely read more of his books. Please more of the characters, Tracy, Kins, Faz and Del. I feel as if I know them.

Would love to give this book more than five stars! Great follow on for the series and you know when its a good book when you want to finish it, but want it to continue! Tracy and kins have one job and Del and Faz another and whilst they dont overlap, there is enough going on so that you dont really feel there are two parts to the book. Throw in a new member of staff and it becomes interesting, add some sadness and you feel you know these people ..cant wait for the next installment
