  Echo Valley, Colorado, is a place where the natural beauty of a stunning river valley meets a budding hipster urbanity. But when an internet stalker is revealed to be a cold-blooded killer in real life, the peaceful community is rocked to its core. It should have been an open-and-shut case: the suicide of Tye Horton, the designer of a cutting-edge video game. But Detective Jo Wyatt is immediately suspicious of Quinn Kirkwood, who reported the death. When Quinn reveals an internet stalker is terrorizing her, Jo is skeptical. Doubts aside, she delves into the claim and uncovers a link that ties Quinn to a small group of beta-testers who had worked with Horton. When a second member of the group dies in a car accident, Jo's investigation leads her to the father of a young man who had killed himself a year earlier. But there's more to this case than suicide, and as Jo unearths the layers, a more sinister pattern begins to emerge—one driven by desperation, shame, and a single-minded drive for revenge. As Jo closes in, she edges ever closer to the shattering truth—and a deadly showdown that will put her to the ultimate test.

  The New York Times bestseller from the three-time Edgar Award winner: Sometimes what it takes to catch a killer is a cop who thinks differently . . .  
   
  A good cop, Robbie Brownlaw was thrown from a sixth-floor window of a downtown hotel and miraculously survived. The traumatic incident left Robbie with a fast-track career in the San Diego P.D.’s Homicide division . . . and a rare neurological condition called synesthesia that jumbles his senses. It enables him to see people’s emotional words as colored shapes—green trapezoids of envy, red squares of deception—something like a primitive lie detector. 
   
  Another good man lies dead in a blood-spattered Ford Explorer—an ex-cop-turned-ethics investigator whose private life was torn open by unthinkable tragedy. Whether Garrett Asplundh’s death was suicide or murder isn’t immediately apparent—but it’s soon clear to Robbie and his smart, tough partner that Garrett had hard evidence of sex, scandal, and corruption spreading deep into local government. But pursuing the truth could prove more emotionally devastating than Robbie ever imagined. 
   
  “The suspense is palpable as Brownlaw and his partner, McKenzie Cortez, work to identify Asplundh’s killer, but the novel probes deeper mysteries, such as the victim’s tragic life and Brownlaw’s disintegrating marriage. With his trademark psychological acuity and empathy, Parker creates a world of fully realized characters coping with obsession and loss.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
  “His dialogue crackles and pops . . . an intricate and well-paced tale set in a city where shadowy characters lurk beneath sunny skies.” —Booklist (starred review) 
   
  “Parker belongs in the first rank of American crime novelists.” —The Washington Post
