This was a great debut novel and a great read. This had a new take of a professor turn detective. A great police procedural with a very engrossing plot. The author did his research and brought you in to the gritty LA scene and grizzly crime scene and murder. Los Angeles becomes a wonderful secondary character in this book- Detective Jarsdel is a native to the area, and can both wonder at a spectacular view and accept the gritty side of the city as well. It was also refreshing to have a detective that was not "broken" as not a boozer or having a broken all absorbing past that he needs to somehow make right. He had a good head on his shoulders and make you feel dragged down. It kept me turning the pages to find out what happens. I really enjoyed this book.
