Description: A spiraling case of betrayal, corruption, and murder could destroy Eve Ronin if she exposes it in a gripping thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
A fifty-five-gallon drum washes up in the Malibu Lagoon stuffed with the corpse of Gene Dent, the key player in a bribery scandal that ensnared several local politicians. LASD detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone know the case―and all the likely suspects―well. Just as they begin their investigation, the sheriff publicly reveals evidence linking the crime to LA’s mayor.
But Eve and Duncan realize the bombshell allegation, true or not, arises from corruption within the sheriff’s own office…because they helped cover it up years ago. If the sheriff goes down, so will they.
Eve is agonizing over her moral dilemma when a helicopter crashes in the hillside below her Calabasas home. It’s not a coincidence. Eve soon discovers among the twisted wreckage and dead passengers shocking connections to her own past…and they lead straight to a fight for her life.
My Thoughts: The sixth Eve Ronin mystery begins with the discovery of a body in a barrel on the beach. Gene Dent is well-known to Eve and a player into a current corruption investigation. Eve and her partner Duncan know just where to start investigating.
The investigation is complicated when a helicopter crashes into the hillside just below Eve's house killing all six people aboard. Besides some of her suspects, the pilot is the has-been actor who launched Eve's career as a homicide detective in the Sheriff's Department.
Chasing down the cause of the crash and the reason for it has Eve reconnecting with Walker and Sharpe, arson investigators, and expanding her investigation into Las Vegas where she runs into a not-so-grieving sister.
The story was action packed and had Eve facing a number of ethical dilemmas. It was engaging and exciting and seems to be a turning point in Eve's career.
