Bridget McKenna's California PI, Caley Burke, doesn't quite have the depth and skill of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone, but she's off to a good start. In this, her third appearance, Caley is on forced sabbatical after some nasty run-ins with death. Her boss, Jake Baronian, wants her to see a therapist to help her get some sleep and discover whether she's meant to be a detective. Instead, Caley finds the answer by helping a runaway boy whose mother has been arrested for murdering her sister. Caley weeds out the innocent from the guilty in the major line up of suspects (the victim was a highly unpopular, rich, and nasty lady) and pegs the murderer in a shoot-out conclusion
