The Guilty Dead by P.J. Tracy
5.0
I approached this entry in the Monkeewrench series with a bit of trepidation as it is the first one to be written solely by Tracy Lambrecht since the death of her mother, P.J. I needn't have worried. The transition from writing team to single writer is seamless.
Monkeewrench is working on a new software program that can analyze metadata in a fraction of the time currently needed, and unofficially working with a friend in the FBI, to use this program to zero in on dark web chatter about a possible terrorist attack in Minneapolis. Meanwhile Rolseth and Magozzi are investigating the death of a Minneapolis mover and shaker on the anniversary of his son's death of a heroin overdose. It's obviously a suicide. Except his wife and daughter insist it couldn't have been. And he shot himself using the wrong hand. They soon learn he was sure his son's death was also murder, and not the accidental overdose it had been ruled.
