A STEEP PRICE Tracy Crosswhite, Book 6

Narrator Emily Sutton-Smith portrays homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite as she investigates several family-oriented crimes. Crosswhite follows her instincts when an Indian-American woman disappears. It's possible she's the victim of a family honor killing. The action escalates when Crosswhite's co-worker, Detective Vic Fazzio, investigates a Mexican drug cartel attracting the attention of a violent leader named Little Jimmy. Sutton-Smith's well-rendered Indian, Mexican, and Italian-American accents, and vivid descriptions of Seattle add atmosphere to this mystery. Listeners will admire Crosswhite's compassionate investigative style as the author provides just enough of personal details about her and her team to give them humanity. Dugoni and Sutton-Smith excel at presenting timely topics such as arranged marriage and gangs within a gripping police procedural. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
