Billy Straight by Jonathan Kellerman (Petra Connor #1) (Paperback)

“A young boy witnesses a murder, but who will find him first… the cops or the killer?
When beautiful Lisa Boehlinger Ramsey is found brutally stabbed to death in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park, a highly sensitive investigation begins for Detective Petra Connor and her partner Stu Bishop. For Lisa was the ex-wife of TV star Cart Ramsey, and she had publicly revealed how Ramsey had beaten her up, so suspicion must fall on the millionaire actor. But this is LA home of media frenzy and O.J. Simpson, and the brass at LAPD do not want history repeated.
Meanwhile, forensic evidence points to a witness to the murder: twelve-year-old Billy Straight – a very scared little boy, too frightened to come forward, and when Lisa’s parents put a reward out on him, only Petra realises the peril in which this child has been placed.
In a thrilling new novel, Jonathan Kellerman has written a story by turns terrifying and deeply affecting, and created an unforgettably believable heroine, as well as telling an L.A. murder story that will leave lights on everywhere.”
