She
was a "Jane Doe," an unidentified white female whose decomposed
body was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The
case fell to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the
detectives had little to go on. The woman was young, her hands were
bound with a length of wire, there were multiple stab wounds, and
her throat had been slashed. After months of investigation, the
case remained unsolved.
That was 18 years ago. Now, the two men who found the body, both
nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want one last
shot at the case. Old and ill, they need someone to do the legwork
for them, and they turn to Kinsey Millhone. They will, they tell
her, find closure if they can just identify the victim. Kinsey is
intrigued by the challenge and agrees to work with them.
But
revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what begins
with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk
hunt for her killer.
