Justice Delayed

March 15, 2017

Eighteen years ago, crime reporter Andi Hollister's sister was murdered and the killer tried and convicted. A week before the man is scheduled to be executed, Det. Will Kincaide of the Memphis Cold Case Unit receives a letter that indicates the real killer is still free. The clock is ticking, and a man's life hangs in the balance; the urgency is especially acute as the man on death row is Will's cousin. Joining forces with Andi, Will reopens the investigation. As they move closer to the truth, Will and Andi find danger--and love. VERDICT Bradley's (Silence in the Dark; "Logan Point" series) action-packed, dialog-heavy police procedural is a quick and tense story, enthralling readers with its thrilling, high-octane plot. Fans of DiAnn Mills won't want to miss.

Andi Hollister was just a young girl when her older sister, Stephanie, was murdered. Eighteen years later, evidence surfaces that could exonerate Stephanie's killer. Andi, now a TV reporter, is skeptical at first, but agrees to follow the leads alongside her brother and his best friend, Will, both Memphis police officers. As they pursue the evidence and reconnect with the past, it becomes clear that somebody does not want them to discover the truth about who killed Stephanie and why, especially once they realize she was killed in connection with a larger crime. Andi is determined to follow through, but she has major issues of her own, stemming from an increasing dependence on prescription painkillers. The first in award-winning Bradley's (Silence in the Dark, 2016) new Memphis Cold Case series offers readers uniquely flawed protagonists, which is a refreshing and relatable shift from the often-seen perfect heroes. Andi's major personal struggle will connect with readers facing their own obstacles as they strive to do the right thing in life.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
