Publisher's summary

Deputy Coroner Clay Edison discovers that buried secrets can be deadly in this riveting thriller from a father-son team of best-selling authors who write "brilliant, page-turning fiction" (Stephen King).

An ID Book Club Selection

Clay Edison has his hands full. He’s got a new baby who won't sleep. He’s working the graveyard shift. And he’s trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child. But whose? And how did it get there?

No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call - this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister. She went missing 50 years ago, the man says. Or at least I think she did. It’s a little complicated.

And things only get stranger from there. Clay’s relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn’t dead. It’s very much alive. And it can be murderous.

The reader is fabulous. Captures the character.

A refreshing mystery series with a likeable character. The witty dialogue brings laughter while there are some poignant moments that are touching.

The park

There was too much unnecessary wordy minutiae for my taste. The book was a struggle to listen to.

First time reader of Clay Edison series

As a native Californian, I enjoyed the familiarity of the setting of the story. Also have been a fan of all the Alex Delaware novels, and this was a breath of fresh air!

Well woven story

Kellerman’s descriptions of people. Places & things are second to none. They feed into the imagination to make the story whole

Editing

There seemed to be several places were editing was done and it was noticeable.

Lots of plot twists

I enjoyed the book mostly because I grew up in the area but it was painful to hear so many locations mispronounced. The narrator should have been more diligent in his research prior to recording.
seemed like too many plot lines in a relatively short book.
