 Detective Stilwell's new job running the substation on Catalina Island gets busier than usual when a body is discovered in the water. Forced to team with the very people who exiled him to this position, Stilwell won't let this unknown woman's death get swept under the rug.

Detective Stilwell is a new character for Connelly and is an interesting subject. I still don't think we learn his first name in the entire book, but he has the classic traits of a Connelly lead - tenured with a checkered past, looking to slow down but unable to let a case go unsolved. I look forward to new adventures on Catalina Island.
