From the book jacket - The call comes at midnight. An up-and-coming lawyer has been found dead in a dark alley, a homeless heroin addict holding a gun and lingering over her body. I looks like a robbery gone awry, a tragic and petty murder. But for homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, the crime cuts close to home. Because Glitsky has a personal connection to thiw woman that even his best friend, lawyer Dismas Hardy doesn't suspect.

I think my neighbor who is a med student in K.C. picked it up in K.C. She gave it to me to read.
