La Jolla PI Rick Cahill makes his living mainly by investigating adultery cases, until one day he gets a call from workers at his former home. It seems they've discovered a safe behind a hidden panel in a closet that belonged to his now-deceased father. Cahill has to have the safe opened by a pro. Inside is a key to a safe deposit box. When he finally manages to view the contents of the safe deposit box, he is shocked. He finds a Saturday Night Special, two spent shell casings and $15,000 in cash. Cahill's father left the La Jolla PD under a dark cloud and Rick wonders if any of these items are connected. His investigation will lead him down a dark path towards a truth that may cost him the ultimate price.
Blood Truth by Matt Coyle is the 4th entry in the Rick Cahill series. Set in La Jolla, CA, this series features a mid-weight sleuth relative to others in this genre. Coyle has created a cast of interesting characters which engage readers and leave them wanting more. If you are looking for a mystery series that is somewhere between the hard-core plots of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and the mystery-solving cat of Lillian Braun, then I would recommend the Rick Cahill mysteries. I would give this book 4/5 stars.
