Awards Finalist (2005) - Minnesota Book Award - (Fiction) Contributor(s):Author: P. J. Tracy Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth are bored - ever since they solved the Monkeewrench case, the Twin Cities have been in a murder-free dry spell, as people no longer seem interested in killing one another. But with two brutal homicides taking place in one awful night, the crime drought ends - not with a trickle, but with an eventual torrent. Who would kill Morey Gilbert, a man without an enemy, a man who might as well have been a saint? His tiny, cranky little wife, Lily, is no help, and may even be a suspect; his estranged son, Jack, an infamous ambulance-chasing lawyer, has his own enemies; and his son-in-law, former cop Marty Pullman, is so depressed over his wife's death a year ago that he's ready to kill himself, but not Morey. The number of victims - all elderly - grows, and the city is fearful once again."" The detectives' investigation threatens to uncover a series of horrendous secrets, some buried within the heart of the police department itself, blurring the lines between heroes and villains. Grace Mac Bride's cold-case-solving software may find the missing link - but at a terrible price.  Review citations Ingram Paperback Advance / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 13 - 03/01/2005Ingram Paperback Advance / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 13 - 03/01/2005Ingram Paperback Advance / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 13 - 03/01/2005Ingram Paperback Advance / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 13 - 03/01/2005Ingram Paperback Advance / Highly Recommended - pg. 13 - 03/01/2005
