Speak for the Dead (Gabe Wager Mystery, #2)

After a successful drug bust in Denver's Narcotics division, Gabe Wager is assigned to Homicide. His first murder case begins with a bizarre corpse - it's just the head. Working with less evidence than usual and dedicated to solving a case that others would just sit on, Wager trades sleep for sleuthing as he works overtime to piece together the elusive bits of information that will speak for the victim and name the killer.
