Shadows: A Novel

The Pulitzer Prize–winning "Queen of Crime" ( USA Today ) follows up Cold Case Squad with an explosive second novel about a dedicated, complicated homicide unit that breathes new life into old cases.

In order to block a high-rise developer’s plans to bulldoze the Shadows—a gorgeous 1920s mansion in Miami—a resourceful young preservationist approaches the police department’s Cold Case Squad. Years ago, the high-profile owner of the Shadows was murdered and the crime has remained unsolved. Never content to let a trail stay cold, Lt. K. C. Riley and her detectives visit the long-abandoned pioneer house and discover a heartbreaking new mystery. But the people tied to the Shadows are evasive and paranoid, haunted by lies, guilt, and tangled pasts. Only one thing is the killer is still out there, and the old, cold case is hotter than ever...
