Measure Of Darkness eBook

From the bestselling father-son team who write "brilliant, page-turning fiction" (Stephen King) comes the second installment in crime fiction''s most intriguing new series.

It''s been a busy year for Alameda County Coroner''s Deputy Clay Edison. He''s solved a decades-old crime and redeemed an innocent man--earning himself a suspension in the process. Things are getting serious with his girlfriend. And his brother''s fresh out of prison, bringing with him a great big basket of crazy.

Then the call comes in the middle of the night. It''s a bad one. A party in West Oakland. An argument with the neighbors. A crowd in the street. Two guns, firing at random, spreading chaos and death. Nobody knows the body count yet. What Clay does know is this: it''s going to be a long, long night. Longer than he ever could have imagined.

Because when the dust settles, there''s an extra victim. One who can''t be accounted for. A young woman, strangled instead of shot, without ID and a stranger to all. She is Jane Doe. She is the Unknown. Clay''s journey to give her a name and bring her justice will lead him into the bizarre--a seductive world where innocence and perversity meet and mingle; where right and wrong begin to blur.
