Nightshade : a novel
by Michael Connelly

Simultaneously, a poaching report leads to a violent case tied to a powerful island figure. Despite resistance from a hostile former colleague and breaking jurisdictional rules, Stilwell relentlessly pursues both cases, uncovering dangerous secrets that reveal Catalina’s dark underbelly—far from the peaceful refuge he expected.
