Pinky is very familiar with the workings of the law, having grown up with Sandy Stern as her grandfather. *If you have read Scott Turow’s novels (and I hope you have) you are very familiar with Sandy Stern. It is tense with a complex plot and array of characters. It is a police and legal procedural. It is a gripping read. ***** (  ) diana.hauser | Feb 17, 2024 | I liked the details of Pinky’s investigation, with her knowledge of police procedures supplemented by extra-legal enhancements. She was quirky, creative, and bisexual, with no intention of settling down. In spite of her unconventional investigative techniques, she did keep things legal and turned evidence over to the authorities. (  ) terran | Jan 23, 2023 | Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read this great mystery ARC. ( ) likestotravel | Dec 6, 2022 | After listening to the first part of this book, I apologize, but I simply had to give up. I generally enjoy the writing of this author, but perhaps it is written for an audience far younger than I am, and far more “woke”, because I found the sexual innuendo, the gender dysphoria, the sexual identification, the foul language and immature, hackneyed dialogue distracting and then, finally, unbearable. If Pinky, who seems to have an inability to stick to her goals, is your type of character, you may love it. She works either for her family or those related to her family. Perhaps that is the only employment she can succeed at achieving. For me, I am not interested in learning about a mystery that involves a fully tattooed, pink and blue haired, nose ringed lesbian investigator, who hates her mother, knows she is nothing, if not normal, but believes that her neighbor is the one with the problem and follows him inappropriately. I am simply too old to spend more time on a book that is out of my range of interest. I hope there are some finer examples of literature out there for me to read.

HTML:The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent and The Last Trial returns with a riveting legal thriller in which a reckless private detective is embroiled in a fraught police scandal. For as long as Lucia Gomez has been the police chief in the city of Highland Isle, near Kindle County, she has known that any woman in law enforcement must walk a precarious line between authority and camaraderie to gain respect. She has maintained a spotless reputationâ??until now. Three male police officers have accused her of soliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people left who she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that the accusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemiesâ??both outside the police force and within.. Clarice â??Pinkyâ?ť Granum spent most of her youth experimenting with an impressive array of drugs and failing out of various professions, including the police academy. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people, she's nothing but a screwupâ??but she doesn't trust most people's opinions anyway. Moreover, she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed P.I. working for Rik on his roster of mostly minor cases, like workman's comp, DUIs and bar fights. Rik's shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry from the kinds of high-profile criminal matters Pinky became familiar with in the law office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Rik and Pinky feel that Chief Gomezâ??s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the legal big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the cityâ??s criminal networks, as well as the human mind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity and courage to unravel the dark secrets those closest to her are deter Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Secrets of the chief's questionable behavior, combined with the testimony of her accusers, leads Pinky to discover a deeper secret from years earlier, and now the chief's life is in danger.
I enjoyed this story, and Pinky's scrappy attitude.
An enjoyable read. (
