The Lost Witness

Robert Ellis' The Lost Witness is a gripping, spooky crime novel. The book is a thriller set in Los Angeles that blends the suspense style of Michael Crichton with the pulse-pounding psychological suspense of Dean Koontz. Los Angeles Police Detective Lena Gamble is a cop held in disgrace by her superiors as a result of the way her case "ended up" in her first book, City of Fire. Her colleagues hail her as a hero because she captured the killer, but she has been punished and has not headed up a case in 8 months. When she finally receives a case, it is of a body chopped up and dropped in a Dumpster, a case the media finds very intriguing but Lena doesn't have any leads on. Lena Gamble is a tough, no-nonsense heroine, trying to find her way in a man's world. If you like toough heroines, you'll love this book!
