I missed these. There has been a delay in the new reprinting of this series so I went a long time between 'Nightwork' and the nail-biting perfection of 'Gravedigger'.
I would say you need to read 'Gravedigger, at least, before you read this one. The mystery stands alone but the characters are so important you need to understand where they are coming from. Some time has passed and wounds are slow to heal. Brandstetter is on another case and trying to keep Cecil healing.
Brandstetter is called in to investigate what looks like a routine trucking accident. A long-haul driver clocking too many hours drives off a high road. Quickly, however, suspicious details add up and it becomes important to determine just what exactly was being hauled and where.
These are amazing books and I can't wait to get my hand on the last five.
