Book Description
================
From Booklist
Buchanan launches a new series with this novel, starring 
Sergeant Craig Burch of the Miami Police Department's Cold Case Squad. 
Fans of Buchanan's Britt Montero series may recognize Burch as the cop 
who helped crime reporter Montero solve a cold case in The Ice Maiden (2002). 
Although Burch made a superb supporting character, 
in his first role as the lead, he comes off a bit like a newborn 
colt on shaky legs. Buchanan has given him the traditional backstory 
of the homicide cop so haunted by his work that his family life unravels, 
but he needs considerably more fleshing out if he is going to become a 
fully formed character. In addition, his first-person narration is 
wince-producing, a collection of Chandleresque cliches ("Like all things 
good and bad in the world, it began with a woman") and strained 
alliterations ("booze, broads, and busted marriages"). Buchanan is on 
more solid ground with plot and forensic procedure. The ex-wife of a
man who was blown to bits while working on his vintage Thunderbird 
12 years previously seeks the aid of the Cold Case Squad. The mystery 
is intensified by the ex-wife's conviction that her deceased husband 
may still be alive. Despite the missteps, this may yet develop into an 
intriguing series, and with Buchanan's name on it, it's sure to 
attract interest.
