The Stones Cry Out: A Raleigh Harmon mystery (The Raleigh Harmon Mysteries) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

When nobody talks... the stones cry out. In the searing heat of a Virginia summer, two men plummet from a roof top to th sidewalk below. The victims are a white police officer and a young black man with a troubled past. Hundreds of people were at the scene, and yet nobody saw what happened. But when FBI agent Raleigh Harmon is assigned the case, she realizes they're just not talking. The Bureau wants a quick verdict, with or without the truth. And with tight-lipped witnesses, Raleigh has to rely on her training in forensic geology to uncover the facts. Working through her connections among the city's most powerful families, along with trolling Richmond's underbelly, Raleigh wants to see justice prevail. But can she solve the case before the city's growing unrest rages out of control? And will her choices bring down everyone involved—including herself?
