Brad
Parks' debut, Faces of the Gone, won the Nero Award for Best American Mystery
and the Shamus Award for Best First Mystery. His second book, Eyes of the Innocent, followed
Carter Ross as he was plunged into a murky world of urban house-flipping and
political corruption. The Girl Next Door promises to to deliver!!
Reading his own newspaper’s obituaries, veteran reporter Carter Ross
comes across that of a woman named Nancy Marino, who was the victim of a
hit-and-run while she was on the job delivering copies of that very
paper, the Eagle-Examiner. Struck by the opportunity to write a
heroic piece about an everyday woman killed too young, he heads to her
wake to gather tributes and anecdotes. It’s the last place Ross expects
to find controversy—which is exactly what happens when one of Nancy’s
sisters convinces him that the accident might not have been accidental
at all.
It turns out that the kind and generous Nancy may have
made a few enemies, starting with her boss at the diner where she was a
part-time waitress, and even including the publisher of the Eagle-Examiner.
Carter’s investigation of this seemingly simple story soon has him in
big trouble with his full-time editor and sometime girlfriend, Tina
Thompson, not to mention the rest of his bosses at the paper, but he
can’t let it go—the story is just too good, and it keeps getting better.
But will his nose for trouble finally take him too far?
