The investigation of LaShawn Tompkins's murder seems straightforward enough. Upon his release from death row, the ex-drug dealer returned to his old neighborhood, where he was gunned down on his mother's doorstep. Just another case of turf warfare. At least that's what it looks like on the surface to Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont, who's been handed the assignment under the strictest confidence. But as Beau starts digging, the situation becomes more complicated than he'd thought.

A Grave Denied - [13] A Kate Shugak mystery by Dana Sabenow
Stabenow relaxes and lets us have fun with Kate. At times, the novel's
style made me think I was reading a cozy. The author finds humor in
Kate's new parenting role, as she learns how to cope with a teenager
she has inherited from previous novels. Some of the best scenes involve
Kate's relationship with her dog, Mutt, a part-wolf who seems to read
Kate's mind. As usual, the cast of characters holds our attention, with
tiny subplots: Kate's best friend gets a visit from a (deliberately)
long-lost brother and fourteen-year-old Johnny remains determined to
stay with Kate, rather than his blood relatives. The endings seem
realistic, not at all contrived.
