With The Concrete Blonde, Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career, creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle-- and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

A blonde with a rotten husband sends Mike Shayne into the past Mike Shayne isn’t scared of anyone, but that doesn’t mean he feels comfortable in a tuxedo.

The reunion is soon broken up by Lydia’s husband, a squat thug who explodes at Shayne for talking to his wife. The men exchange harsh words, then swift punches, which causes Shayne and Lucy to be kicked out of Martinique. When Lydia is murdered soon after, Shayne suspects her husband is the killer. But how can the detective prove it when the police are hot on his own trail? Weep for a Blonde is the 28th book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
