PERISH was a finalist for the G. P. Putnam's Sons Sue Grafton Memorial Award. Bestselling author Lisa Black takes readers on a nailbiting journey to the dark side of justice as forensic expert Maggie Gardiner discovers troubling new details about her colleague Jack Renner, a homicide detective with a brutal approach to law and order . . . The scene of the crime is lavish but gruesome. In a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Cleveland, a woman's body lies gutted in a pool of blood on the marble floor. The victim is Joanna Moorehouse, founder of Sterling Financial. The killer could be any one of her associates. Maggie knows that to crack the case, she and Jack will have to infiltrate the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance. But the offices of Sterling Financial seethe with potential suspects, every employee hellbent on making a killing. When another officer uncovers disturbing evidence in a series of unrelated murders, the investigation takes a surprising detour. Only Maggie recognizes the blood-soaked handiwork of a killer who has committed the most heinous of crimes--and will continue killing until he is stopped. Burdened with unbearable secrets, Maggie must make an agonizing choice, while her conscience keeps telling her: she's next.
I really liked the first book I read in this series which was Suffer The Children which was pretty great, then I decided to get Perish to read since I didn’t realize it was a series when I read Suffer The Children, well this one disappointed me quite a lot, the book was boring in a lot of parts of the book where it just dragged on but it also has good parts where it kept my interest. I think the author could have given this book more of a chance if she would have just stayed more on the point of the book and less scattered about other things happening in the book.
