But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found weighed down at the bottom of the harbour—a Jane Doe identifiable at first only by a streak of purple dye in her hair. At the same time, a report of poaching on a protected reserve turns into a case fraught with violence and danger as Stilwell digs into the shady past of an island bigwig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, Stilwell doggedly works both cases. Though hampered by an old beef with an ex-colleague determined to thwart him at every turn, he is convinced he is the only one who can bring justice to the woman known as \u003ci\u003eNightshade\u003c\/i\u003e. Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePropulsive and atmospheric, \u003ci\u003eNightshade\u003c\/i\u003e launches a brand new character into the Connelly universe, and proves without question that Michael Connelly is \"the undisputed master of the modern crime novel\" (Real Book Spy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643095695596,"sku":"9780316588485","price":71.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f24fb3d628d6129dada6994e9f0c8657.jpg?v=1779169906","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/nightshade-by-michael-connelly-9780316588485","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
