The past is never past on the mean streets of Phoenix, especially
when the mercury hits a hundred and it's only April. Half a century
after the unsolved murder of an FBI agent, the missing badge is
found on the body of a dead transient. The case seems a perfect fit
for David Mapstone, history professor turned Maricopa County deputy
sheriff. That is, if he can get past a forced partnership with
rival cold-case expert Sgt. Kate Vare and the FBI's strange
stonewalling about the details of the agent's killing. To
complicate matters, there are the crimes making history today, like
the arrest of Russian mafia members in a multimillion-dollar fraud
case. David's wife, Lindsey, star of the sheriff's Cybercrimes
Bureau, was on the task force that busted the case wide open. But
her triumph is short-lived when a hit in Scottsdale leaves three
task-force members dead. Lindsey's life in danger, Sheriff Peralta
stashes Lindsey and David in a safe house. That doesn't get the
good ""History Shamus"" off the hook, though, as Sheriff Peralta
inexplicably demands that David solve the cold case.The trail will
take Mapstone to the most forlorn parts of Phoenix, as well as to
San Francisco and picturesque southern Arizona, as he slowly
uncovers the bloody secrets surrounding the mysterious FBI badge.
He's got the brains and the leads. Now all he and Lindsey have to
do is live long enough to bring justice to a fifty-year-old crime.
