But the case has drawn the attention of the North Carolina attorney general, who sends state police investigators to determine whether the brothers’ death involved police brutality. There’s no question Channing was raped and tortured for 40 hours and that Elizabeth saved her. Bullets lodged in the floor lead to speculation the men were shot after they were down. In the basement are the bodies of Brendan and Titus Monroe, brothers aged 34 and 31, with 18 bullet wounds that suggest they have been painfully tortured. A few hours later, Elizabeth and Channing walk out. When a radio call leads her to an abandoned house where a missing 18-year-old girl, Channing Shore, might be hidden away, Elizabeth goes in alone. And she does encounter them by the bushel. He writes from her point of view compellingly and expertly slips himself into her shoes where gender perspective makes a difference – as a detective partner, as a daughter, and as unofficial guardian to two troubled teens.Įlizabeth Black is a detective in a mid-sized North Carolina city who over 13 years has proved herself a good cop, though the men around her seem anxious to dismiss all that as soon as she encounters difficulties.
