Book Description
Detective Emily Hunter must be the voice for the voiceless The homeless camps spread throughout the city of Sacramento are a topic of heated debate among residents. They' re considered undesirable— a nuisance— an eyesore. But when the camps fall victim to a string of devastating arson attacks, Detective Emily Hunter and her partner, Javier Medina, dive into the investigation and become acquainted with the real people whose lives have been destroyed. The attacks only begin to draw attention when two of the victims are identified as the city' s former anti-homeless mayor and a camp social worker— but rather than strengthening the push for justice, the movement to completely abolish the camps intensifies. The investigation becomes politically charged when Emily discovers who stands to gain from burning the homeless out of their shelters. She struggles to balance the high-stakes investigation with caring for her Alzheimer' s-stricken mother, whose condition is rapidly deteriorating. The investigation uncovers an unlikely suspect and a reluctant witness standing between Emily and the shocking truth. Can Emily overcome resistance and her personal obstacles to halt the attacks? Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Karin Slaughter While the novels in the Emily Hunter Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: Face of Greed River of Lies
