This book was a good police procedural with an emphasis on the wide spectrum of autism behaviors. I liked how the point of view switched from former patient Jeffery Clifford who has developed ways of coping with the world to detective Emily Folkestone who learns about how autistic people behave.

I gave this 5 stars because it deals with a group of suspects that include several autistic adults. They occupy various degrees on the spectrum from Asperger down to virtually non-verbal. The book really gets into how frustrated it is for these people, for their families, and for detectives trying to interview them. (Not sure why this is listed as part of Figueroa and Bennis series. No one by those names is part of the story.)
