I am reviewing a copy of One Day You’ll Burn through Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley:

Detective Tully Jarsdel is not your typical LAPD cop, but he’s the only one who is able to solve the case.

The body was so badly burned it could be mistaken for a movie prop, except for the smell.  That's not something the LAPD finds lying on the street every day. And when Detective Tully Jarsdel is called to the scene, it's clear to him that something about the placement of the corpse is intentional, even ritualistic.  Jarsdel’s previous career in academia seems to finally be coming in handy rather than serving merely as material for jokes from his partner, Morales.

But nothing in his education can prepare Jarsdel for the horrific evil  behind this case, which appears to be as hopeless as it is violent. As Jarsdel and Morales attempt to settle their differences and uncover the motive behind the horrendous crime, they find themselves dragged into the underbelly of a city notorious for chewing up and spitting out anyone dumb enough to turn their back on survival.

I give One Day You’ll Burn four out of five stars!
