Peridot

by Carla Landreth

RED Police slang for a high-profile case that draws media and political attention. Just exactly what Det. Ridge Kelley and Det. James Tanner do not want. Especially since two uniform cops are under investigation by IAB Internal Affairs Bureau for this case, a supposedly domestic dispute they did not follow upon that turned to murder, putting the heat squarely on them to solve.
A pregnant and popular television celebrity nurse Amanda Clayburn is brutally murdered in her apartment, the only thing missing from Amanda is a valuable peridot ring. With the long list of suspects and of the very wealthy with their own secrets to protect the case becomes insightful and cold.
Ordered to give the unit a positive outlook to the public, cold case crime reporter, Skylar Benton enters to assist the two detectives that are on borrowed time. But even with her help, the detectives are finding this case challenging to solve.
