The Fallen

This police procedural by the Edgar Award-winning author of CALIFORNIA GIRL introduces San Diego police lieutenant Robbie Brownlow, who developed synesthesia after an enraged arsonist threw him out a hotel window three years ago. Now, Robbie can judge the emotional content and truth value of people`s statements by the colored shapes he sees floating out of their mouths. He uses this ability to good purpose when someone murders Garret Asplundh, an investigator for San Diego`s Ethics Authority looking into ties between a high-end call girl ring and several prominent city officials.
