I love reading Robert Dugoni because his stories are based around Seattle, which means he writes about places I've been. I appreciate his Tracy Crosswhite Detective series because it ties multiple storylines together. Usually in a rather complicated solving crimes way. This one was sad: focused on teen drug addiction and overdose, as well as a killing of a young boy. It was quite obvious that it is written by a white person just passed the year of 2020, BLM, and police violence. Some of the dialogue was too corny (white man writing for a young black boy) but the story was difficult and had somewhat of a happy (predictable) but satisfying ending.
