Young D'Andre Miller was killed while crossing the street on his way home from a basketball game. A camera in the area showed a black Subaru Outback never slowed down before hitting him. Detective Tracy Crosswhite and her team are put on the case. They quickly find the vehicle and learn that it was reported stolen earlier that morning. The owner of the car, enlisted Navy Sailor Laszlo Trejo, claims he was home at the time of the accident; but evidence shows he may be lying. Meanwhile, Detective Del Castigliano is trying to hold his family together after the overdose death of his niece Allie. Del is determined to discover who provided the heroin to Allie.

This is a very good addition to the Tracy Crosswhite series. We have two investigations which both tie to the impact of drugs in our society. We get to see the devastation to the families of the victims of the opioid crisis. I enjoyed following the evidence and trying to figure out exactly what was happening when the Navy asserted jurisdiction over the Trejo case. I was very surprised by the ending. My rating: 4 Stars.
