The Worst Kind of Truth - Frank Zafiro - Bog

Detective Katie MacLeod has her hands full. It has been four years since her promotion to detective, and after paying her dues in property crimes investigations, she has made it to the Major Crimes unit. This is where the highest profile cases land-homicides, robberies, serious assaults, and sexual assaults.
Katie catches two rape cases almost back-to-back. One victim is a prostitute with an unknown suspect... who Katie fears may be gearing up for more assaults. The other victim is a college student who has accused her boyfriend, a popular baseball player, of raping her at a party.
Both cases have their own set of perils. Katie juggles her time investigating each one, encountering many obstacles-a lack of evidence in one, and wondering how to parse conflicting statements in the other.
As she battles past these difficulties, Katie faces another fact... that both cases hit home with her in very different ways. Solving them becomes more than just a job for her, but something deep-seated and personal... something that may exorcise some of her own demons from the past.
Or will they consume her? Note: THE WORST KIND OF TRUTH won honorable mention at the 2023 PSWA awards. It was also named as one of the best "truly independent" titles of 2022 by the IFA (Independent Fiction Alliance).
