Harry's on a personal mission to find the killer of Daisy Clayton, a teen prostitute murdered nine years earlier. Harry rescued Daisy's mother from heroin addiction in the excellent Two Kinds of Truth and he maintains a connection to this woman whose suffering since her daughter's death has been unending. His investigation, which involves old LAPD 'shake cards,' brief records of interactions between beat police and citizens, brings him into contact with Renee Ballard. Their initial distrust leads quickly to mutual cooperation and focus on getting Daisy's killer at all costs. They're a great team, and, as always, I enjoyed the action and careful unfolding of the plot. But I'm worried about Harry's seeming slide into ethically dubious behavior, and hope that Ballard can keep him in line in the future.
Lakin and Welliver are both first-rate.
