In Leotta's fifth series entry (after A Good Killing), Washington, DC, sex crimes prosecutor Anna Curtis is visiting her sister in Michigan when Jack, her ex-fiancé, asks her to help out on a task force investigating assaults on the state's college campuses. Freshman Emily Shapiro, whose father is the university president, has gone missing. Circumstances surrounding her disappearance implicate Dylan Highsmith, a popular fraternity member and the son of Michigan's lieutenant governor. Emily's video diary purports she was raped earlier in the semester and even details Dylan's disciplinary hearing at which Emily testified. As Anna and Jack probe the case, they uncover a corrupt academic system, complicated family dynamics, and crime scene evidence that isn't necessarily what it seems.
VERDICT Fast paced with strong, vivid characters, this installment succeeds as a stand-alone, so readers new to the Anna Curtis series can easily follow. With a focus on a timely, important issue, this will be high on the to-read list of readers who appreciate the works of Lisa Scottoline, Linda A. Fairstein, and Gillian Flynn.
