Review
Parker's many fans met Merci Rayborn, the Orange County homicide investigator, in The Blue Hour, and will be happy to renew their acquaintance with her in Red Light. Although she is still mourning the death of her former partner Tim Hess, who fathered her two-year-old son, her relationship with fellow cop Mike McNally is progressing nicely, and so is her career on the force. Then two murders, decades apart, come together in a way that shakes Merci's world both personally and professionally; two beautiful young prostitutes are both killed for what they knew and what they threatened to tell. Who's covering up the corruption in the department that led to the first murder? And was Merci's lover responsible for the second? Someone's sending Merci evidence that disappeared from the police locker years ago; did that same person frame Mike too?
Merci doesn't want to believe that McNally is involved, but everything points to him. When she is forced to arrest him, everything she believes in comes in for a painful re-examination. And when her efforts to solve both killings lead inexorably back to where they started--to the department itself--she faces the most difficult challenge of all.
Parker is a masterful writer, with a sure command of the idiom, a fine sense of pacing and more emotional depth than many of his colleagues. Fans will applaud this outing, and new readers will seek out his extensive backlist. --Jane Adams, Amazon.com
Review
‘Genuinely shocking, but much more shocking than most of the genre’s output’
– Literary Review
‘A superior thriller’
– Mail on Sunday
‘Jefferson Parker is a powerhouse writer’
– New York Times Book Review
‘The crimes are sickening, the killer is a monster and the gadgets of destruction are truly bizarre. It must be another insanely imaginative thriller from Jefferson Parker’
