This gripping debut of the Kate Martinelli mystery series won the Edgar Awardfor Best First Mystery, generating wide critical acclaim and moving Laurie R.King into the upper tier of the genre. As "A Grave Talent" begins, theunthinkable has happened in a small community outside of San Francisco. Astring of shocking murders has occurred, each victim an innocent child. ForDetective Kate Martinelli, just promoted to Homicide and paired with a seasonedcop who's less than thrilled to be handed a green partner, it's going to be adifficult case. Then the detectives receive what appears to be a case-breakinglead: it seems that one of the residents of this odd, close-knit colony is VaunAdams, arguably the century's greatest painter of women, a man, as it turnsout, with a sinister secret. For behind the brushes and canvases also stands anotorious felon once convicted of strangling a little girl. What reallyhappened on that day of savage violence eighteen years ago? To bring a murdererto justice, Kate must delve into the artist's dark past -- even if she knows itmeans losing everything she holds dear.

Review:

"A Grave Talent kept me reading deep into the night." --The Boston Globe

"[An] amazing first novel with intelligence, intrigue, and intricacy...This work exhibits strong psychological undertones, compelling urgency, and dramatic action." --Library Journal

From the Back Cover:

Kate Martinelli, a recently promoted Homicide detective, and Alonzo Hawkin, a world-weary cop trying to make a new life in San Francisco, could not be more different but are thrown together to solve a brutal crime – the murders of three young girls.

Their search takes them to a rural colony, close to the place where the bodies were found. Here they meet the enigmatic artist Vaun, who is hiding a terrible secret from her past and her real identity.

As Martinelli and Hawkin get nearer to a solution, they realize the crimes may not be sexually motivated killings they had seemed. There is a coldly calculating and tortuous mind at work which they must outmanoeuvre if they are to prevent further carnage and the destruction of a shining talent.

‘If there is a new P.D. James... I would put my money on Laurie R. King’
BOSTON GLOBE

‘Unusually sensitive and densely imagined’
KIRKUS REEVES
