Detective Tracy Crosswhite is busy these days. She and her partner are called out to investigate a domestic abuse case. Angela Collins claims that her estranged husband entered her house and attacked her. She fought back and shot him. What looks like an easy case goes south when someone else confesses. Meanwhile, Tracy is working on a forty-year-old cold case. A young Native American woman was reported missing by her family. Her body washed up in the river the next day. The medical examiner says it was a suicide, but the investigating officer, Deputy Buzz Almond, didn't believe that was true. Almond has passed away recently, leaving the open case file locked away in his home. Now it is up to Tracy to discover what exactly happened.

In this book we have two cases. The cold case takes up most of the book. Investigating a cold case is usually very hard because many of the witnesses are no longer around. Memories are not as clear after so much time. Lucky for Tracy, Buzz Almond kept all of the information including a series of pictures that helps her work through the case. This case was interesting, although it was easy to guess the circumstances of the murder.

The domestic abuse case took a backseat to the other murder. Tracy's partner took the lead on this case. We didn't spend a lot of time on this one, but I enjoyed it. My rating: 4 Stars.
