Book Description:
After twenty years of loyal service, Detective Jane Bauer is just two months and one case away from leaving the NYPD for a cushy desk job. Her last assignment: working for a special unit that tackles unsolved crimes. At a crossroads in her personal life, Jane relishes the chance to lose herself in a challenging investigation.

Four years ago, Arlen Quill was found dead in the entryway to his apartment building—leaving no clues, no witnesses, and no leads. When Jane decides to interview Quill’s old neighbors, she makes a startling discovery: Every single occupant at the time of the murder subsequently disappeared. Like any seasoned New Yorker, Jane knows that mere homicide isn’t enough to drive people from their rent-controlled apartments. In Hell’s Kitchen, where a cold case suddenly heats up—Jane soon finds herself face-to-face with a killer. . . .

Really enjoyed this first book in the series. I had thought it was going to be more "fluffy" and was pleasantly surprised at the twists and turns it took.

This is a great book! First one in a group of "police procedurals" with a great new female cop. I read the second one before this one and enjoyed both of them., Now am starting the third one. I hope she writes more of them!!

I finally found a new female character that holds my interest! Interesting police procedures while the characters investigate cold case files. I sure hope Jane Bauer is a continuing character.
