Speaking for the Dead

When a body is found along Florida's Suncoast Trail, Detective Sgt. Garrett Moseby and his partner Lucy French get the call. At just over six-three with wide shoulders, Moseby is an imposing figure. At five-three, with high cheekbones and bobbed nose, French is deceptively small, especially for a master of Krav Magna, the Israeli martial art. This case is going to be challenging: The victim, a slender blonde runner, didn't see it coming. Nearby, they found an iPod MP3 with ear buds still in place. She had cuts all over her body like a rage killing. Sunny Cargill was quite dead. And the suspects are few - the guy who went to jail for attempting to rape her in college, the old boyfriend she got a restraining order against, maybe her apartment manager. The police shrink says it looks like a would-be serial killer. But something was off kilter here, especially when Moseby and French begin to feel like they're being watched. This is a police procedural that doesn't always go by the book.
