The Burning (Clay Edison, #4)

The Burning by Jonathan Kellerman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

OK, it's getting annoying how often Clay assumes that Luke is guilty of something if he is even remotely connected to a crime. This time his assumptions cost Clay his job and almost cost Luke his life.

When a very wealthy man is found murdered by his housekeeper and Clay in his capacity as Coroner sees Luke's car in the man's car museum Clay automatically assumes that Luke had something to do with the murder, and starts trying to cover up Luke's involvement and track down Luke. But no one knows where he is. And unfortunately Clay keeps playing phone tag with Billy Watts, who could have put Clay on the right path.

It's only after Billy is shot that Clay realizes he got everything all wrong. His brother's disappearance, and the murder aren't a result of Luke's past but of Clay's Half Moon Bay

With Detective Cesar Rigo hot on Clay and Luke's trail Clay is forced into fleeing when the Dormer's contact him demanding that he come alone. Speeding to Luke's rescue he will do whatever it takes to save his brother.

Not sure what Clay's suspension means for the series.
