Solitude Creek – Jeffery Deaver

When a fake fire causes a stampede at a concert, CBI agent Kathryn Dance starts an unofficial investigation.  When a second incident occurs, at a book signing, the investigation turns into a manhunt.  Can Dance find the perpetrator while balancing her personal life and a gang war that points to an inside man within her task force?

Because I can never do this right, I jumped into Jeffery Deaver’s Kathryn Dance series with Solitude Creek, the fourth and, to date, final entry.  The character, introduced in 2006’s The Cold Moon, is a brilliant interrogator and body language expert, pretty much the opposite of Deaver’s more famous Lincoln Rhyme.  I’m sure I will work my way backwards and get to the other three entries in the series.
