Publisher's Summary
The “delicious and addictive” (Salon) Claire DeWitt series returns with a thrilling noir mystery that follows three separate narratives starring the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest detective.” As Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls raves, these novels are “cryptic, dreamy, funny and gritty as hell...Claire DeWitt is an unreliable detective unlike any other.”
Claire DeWitt, the hard-living and tough-talking private investigator, has always been something of a detective. As a young girl growing up in Brooklyn, Claire and her two best friends, Tracy and Kelly, fell under the spell of the book Detection by legendary French detective Jacques Silette. The three solved many cases together and were inseparable - until the day Tracy vanished without a trace. That is still the only case Claire ever failed to solve.
Later, in her 20s, Claire is in Los Angeles trying to get her PI license by taking on a cold case that has stumped the LAPD. She hunts for the real story behind the death of a washed-up painter 10 years earlier, whose successful and widely admired artist girlfriend had died a few months before him.
Today, Claire is on her way to Las Vegas from San Francisco when she’s almost killed by a homicidal driver. In a haze of drugs and injuries, she struggles off the scene, determined to find her would-be killer’s identity - but the list of people who would be happy to see her dead is not a short one.
As these three narratives converge, some mysteries are solved and others continue to haunt. But Claire, battered and bruised, continues her search for the answer to the biggest mystery of all: what is the purpose of our lives, and how can anyone survive in a world so clearly designed to break our hearts again and again?

Superior Writing
This is an exceptionally well written book. It’s literary, full of insights while still an attention holding
story. Dialogue is terrific, characters interesting and unpredictable and the story is packed with keen observations. Narration fits the main character and mood of the book perfectly.

Terrific
I was disappointed at first with the change in narrator, but it only took a few minutes before the dark vision of Claire Dewitt drew me in again. I hope there will be more ...

Intriguing, unusual heroine with a story to tell!
I’ve read the other books in the series and even read the books they were soooo good! I don’t want to give away thr plot so read the publisher blurb. I promise the series will not disappoint! Claire de Witt is the worlds most unusual detective! My favorite detective. I’ve started reading other books by Sara Gran. Love her too!
