Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea

A violent murder where the main suspect claims she is innocent even though the evidence is pretty damning seems like an open and shut case for the young police detective covering the case. Twenty years pass and the suspect's bone fragment from the rubble has identified her as a victim of 9/11. Avery is hoping that the story will be her big break as the host of a news show and is delighted to find that the DNA is that of a murder suspect and feels there is much more to the story. A retired FBI agent (the young police detective on the original murder) teams up with Avery to piece together what happened and possible exonerate Victoria as a suspect. What she doesn't know is that Walt has reasons of his own to keep a close eye on Avery. So many secrets, so many lies and so many layers to peel back until we find the truth. This intense story with characters who are devious but not totally unlikeable with be just the thing for fans of the flawed characters of Lee Child and police procedurals like Lincoln Rhyme books and strong smart female leads.  4 stars
