In the Clearing

The gripping third book in the internationally acclaimed series by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.

Detective Tracy Crosswhite has a skill, and a soft spot, for tackling unsolved crimes. Having lost her own sister to murder at a young age, Tracy has dedicated her career to bringing justice and closure to the families and friends of victims of crime.

So when Jenny, a former police academy classmate and protégé, asks Tracy to help solve a cold case that involves the suspicious suicide of a Native American high school girl forty years earlier, Tracy agrees. Following up on evidence Jenny’s detective father collected when he was the investigating deputy, Tracy probes one small town’s memory and finds dark, well-concealed secrets hidden within the community’s fabric. Can Tracy uphold the promise she’s made to the dead girl’s family and deliver the truth of what happened to their daughter? Or will she become the next victim?

Robert Dugoni is the critically acclaimed bestselling author of nine thrillers. My Sister’s Grave, the first book in the Tracy Crosswhite series, became a #1 Amazon bestseller and a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. The popular series includes Her Final Breath and the short stories “The Academy” and “Third Watch.” Dugoni’s first novel, The Jury Master, made the New York Times bestseller list and launched the popular David Sloane series, which includes Wrongful Death, Bodily Harm, Murder One, and The Conviction. Dugoni’s books have been likened to those of Scott Turow and Nelson DeMille, and he has been hailed as “the undisputed king of the legal thriller” and the “heir to Grisham’s literary throne.”
