After gaining unparalleled access to the homicide unit in Prince George's County, which borders the nation's capital, Del Quentin Wilber begins shadowing the talented, often quirky detectives who get the call when a body falls. He rides with a hard-charging investigator who pops diet pills while devouring cheeseburgers; he stands over a corpse with a hulking investigator who works security at a cemetery to earn extra money; he spends hours in the interrogation room--a.k.a. "the box"--with a chain-smoking vegan determined to solve the most difficult case of his career. And then, after a quiet couple of months, all hell breaks loose: suddenly every detective in the squad is working day and night to solve one shooting and stabbing after another. In particular, the entire unit becomes obsessed with a "red ball," a high-profile case involving a 17-year-old honor student attacked by a gunman who kicked down the door to her house and murdered her in her bed. Murder is the police investigator's ultimate crucible : to solve a killing, a detective must speak for the dead. More than any recent book, A Good Month for Murder shows what it takes to succeed when the stakes couldn't possibly be higher"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cHenry Holt and Co., |d2016.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1104 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 0 Homicide|zWashington Metropolitan Area. 650 0 Criminal investigation|zWashington Metropolitan Area. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9780805098815 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/2505014 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=3d567dab- 85a1-468b-a15a-7317a33f4111&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/2390-1/ %7B3D567DAB-85A1-468B-A15A-7317A33F4111%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/2390-1/ %7B3D567DAB-85A1-468B-A15A-7317A33F4111%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
