Dugoni . . . Second book I've read by him. Set in Seattle and North Cascades foothills. Two sisters, one murdered when the other doesn't accompany her home after a shooting contest. Traci, the survivor, becomes a cop partly to investigate the murder of her sister. There has been a trial and a conviction, but Traci is unconvinced, feeling that her small town sheriff and DA railroaded a convicted rapist just to get the case off the books.
Her father commits suicide; her mother dies; her marriage falls apart. The cold case comes back to life with the discovery of her sister's body. Traci gets an old high school friend (and new lover) to call for a new trial based on evidence discovered with the body.
Judge rules that the first trial was a travesty and orders a new trial for the convicted murderer.
The DA, sheriff, defense attorney, and probably Traci's father are all implicated in planting evidence. Now Traci needs to find the real murderer.
Not many suspects, but someone with a flat-bed truck with one brake light out is stalking Traci and has taken a shot at her attorney-boyfriend's house as a warning.
