Cold Case
The colder it gets . . .
the hotter it gets.
Three years ago SFPD Homicide Investigator Kate Gillespie was in pursuit of a suspect who murdered a hooker in a sleazy motel, and she nearly lost her own life in the process. The shooter escaped into the San Francisco shadows and the trail went colder than the grave.
Now Kate's appearance on a Bay Area "crime stoppers" TV show produces new leads that carry her back into the sordid world of drugs and prostitution -- and point her toward a local crime boss whose missing wife is possibly linked to multiple men and multiple murders.
But when a dangerous knot of betrayals, secrets, and criminal cover-ups starts unraveling, Kate can only hope she'll be as lucky as she was on that black night at the Twin Palms Motel. Because the only way to the truth leads directly into the line of fire . .

07 September 2006. I was reading Robin Burcell's Cold Case from 1300H-2157H. It was a nonstop reading mode. But it was fun. I miss Inspector Kate Gillespie and now FBI officer Michael Tolland. But I found a new favourite book character. Nick Paollini. Haha! He reminds me of Jack Sparrow!
This novel, I'd say, made me lost. There were so many suspects I couldn't figure out who was the culprit. Well, I never did! Haha! Robin Burcell is cool. I'm now on a hunt on her other novels: Fatal Truth and Deadly Legacy. She's the reason why I like homicide novels. ^_^
