For Pittsburgh police detectives Vic Lenoski and his partner, Liz Timmons, what starts as a favor for the district attorney-a simple check on a house fire at the home of a public defender-soon becomes something different. The local fire chief suspects arson and the public defenders' body is found inside the house...tied to her bed. Worse, as Vic and Liz investigate the victim's life, they discover a string of secrets-each more damning than the last. Those discoveries bring immediate pressure from the DA and their commander to close the case...just as the evidence takes a startling and gut-wrenching turn into Vic and Liz's personal lives.
Peter WJ Hayes, happens to be a former workmate of mine, and when I heard he was now a published Detective Novel writer, I picked up the first of this series, just finished the second, and am quickly ordering the last two. They are engaging, a step-by-step unraveling of a police case, set in Pittsburgh (follow along the narrative of local neighborhoods), and great character development. Peter's style keeps you turning the pages as he does not reveal anything until it happens, with a twist at the end of each case that on your own, would not have expected.
