FAYE and Jonathan Kellerman are neck-and-neck in the crime thriller and in this double-header they join forces to offer two stories for the price of one.
In "Berkeley" city homicides detectives Barnes and Iris investigate the murder of legislator Davida Grayson, a lobbyist for stem cell research, whose tangled personal life throws up just as many enemies as her political activities.
In "Nashville", detectives Southerby and Van Grundy probe the killing of legendary musician John Wallace "Jack" Jefferies, discovering dark secrets that have put a killer on his trail.
There's a gruesome element in "Nashville" which gives the story a dangerous edge, while in "Berkeley" moral ethics and corruption add an extra twist to a stylish tale.
