Cold Pursuit by Jefferson Parker

A gritty mystery set in San Diego has veteran homicide cop Tom McMichael investigating the murder of an 84 year old city patriarch, Pete Braga.  To complicate matters, McMichael's family and the Bragas harbor old family feuds.  Good solid characters, a lively plot, and a solid sense of place make this a first rate mystery.  I will probably try some others by this author.  360 pages
