Bloodlines

Edgar(r) Award winner Jan Burke continues her USA Todaybestselling Irene Kelly series with a suspense-laced novel of buried secrets, old friends, and new dangers — in "a brilliant exhibition of what the crime genre can offer" (The Baltimore Sun). Sweeping across decades, Burke masterfully unearths a cold case that is far from closed while introducing an intrepid novice reporter, Irene Kelly, learning the ropes from her mentor, Conn O'Connor. From the late fifties, when a bloodstained car is buried on a farm and a wealthy family disappears at sea . . . to the seventies, when Irene makes shocking connections and brashly tracks a killer from the past . . . to today, when new threats and deadly surprises are closing in on the veteran journalist and her husband, Frank Harriman, Bloodlinesfollows a fascinating labyrinth of lives, loves, sins, and secrets — with the irrepressible Irene Kelly at its core.
