A private investigator, working for a lawyer defending the local police chief in a sexual harassment case, uses her contacts within the local police department to help blow up the accusers’ accounts of their so-called harassment.  When one of them turns up dead at the same time her mysterious new neighbor disappears, she goes on the offensive, looking to find out why the cop was killed and why the chief was targeted.

Scott Turow introduced the character of Pinky Granum in his 2020 novel The Last Trial.  She returns here as the main character in his latest effort, Suspect, which was released in 2022.  As usual, I enjoyed this trip to Turow’s Kindle County (or Kindle County adjacent).  He has five additional novels that I haven’t gotten to yet, which I’m sure is just a matter of time.
