Didn't read much today. Ballard gets herself assigned to the restaurant murder case for the weekend. She calls parents of killed waitress--learns of druggie boyfriend. Ballard was harassed by police sergeant and then not supported by her partner which is how she ended up on night shift. Ballard paddle boards during the day and sleeps in tent on beach (homeless cop, essentially).
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
