Description: In most fields promotion means extra perks, but not for LAPD Homicide Detective Fey Croaker. Her move up the ladder into the elite Robbery-Homicide division promises nothing but danger and betrayal. In their first RHD case, Fey and her five-person crew are plunged into the middle of a deadly investigation when a murder victim is identified as the sister of an outspoken police commissioner. The case pits Fey and company against a daunting list of high-profile suspects, an underground abused child protection ring, and ties to an unsolved, thirty-year-old murder case implicating a California Supreme Court nominee. Fey's life is further complicated by the legacy of her abusive father, who may have knowingly put a dangerous but innocent black activist on Death Row -- a man who claims to hold the key to Fey's current investigation.

Crackling with the authenticity afforded by the author's two decades working the sordid front lines of LA's sex-crime beat, Chalk Whispers continues Paul Bishop's hugely popular saga of Detective Fey Croaker, the "female tough guy" (The Washington Post) with moxie to burn.
