Description

When vengeance runs in the blood only murder can stop it dead, in this stunning new thriller from the award-winning author of Black Water. Feuding families and a murdered millionaire. A potentially explosive case. Especially when the cop investigating belongs to one of the families ...Millionaire Pete Braga has been found bludgeoned to death in his San Diego mansion. Homicide cop Tom McMichael is on the case, but the Irish McMichaels and the Portuguese Bragas share a violent history -- fifty years ago Braga shot McMichael's grandfather dead, then McMichael's father was accused of an attack that left Braga's thirteen-year-old son brain-damaged. Tom must put aside the feud and find the killer. But the investigation is to unfold like a bloody bloom, encompassing Braga's business and family, the Catholic diocese, a multi-million dollar Indian casino, a prostitute, a cop, and, of course, McMichael's own family ...

Reviews

Praise for Jefferson Parker 'Insanely imaginative' New York Times 'Parker has only one rival -- Thomas Harris' Washington Post Praise for Cold Pursuit: 'I'm always a sucker for a good American police procedural, and Cold Pursuit is a fine example of the genre' Mail on Sunday 'An example of how a good police procedural can transcend the questions, answers and hunch-playing. The plot strands fly in all directions, but Jefferson manages to keep order, slowly progressing via a few surprise turnarounds to an unexpected denouement' Time Out Praise for Black Water 'Parker at the top of his form' Los Angeles Times 'Both convincing and heartening. Parker gets better and better' Literary Review 'An entertaining story with an appealing heroine' Sunday Telegraph 'A well-plotted psychological thriller that keeps the reader guessing' Time Out 'A guileful pursuit story with a gripping outcome' Scotsman Praise for Red Light 'Parker's latest sizzles along, an infectious blend of atmosphere, action and passion' Publisher's Weekly Praise for The Blue Hour 'Jefferson Parker is a powerhouse writer' New York Times Book Review'
