Fallen star / Lee Goldberg.

Goldberg, Lee, 1962- (author.).

Summary:

A fifty-five-gallon drum washes up in the Malibu Lagoon stuffed with the corpse of Gene Dent, the key player in a bribery scandal that ensnared several local politicians. LASD detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone know the case -- and all the likely suspects -- well. Just as they begin their investigation, the sheriff publicly reveals evidence linking the crime to LA's mayor. But Eve and Duncan realize the bombshell allegation, true or not, arises from corruption within the sheriff's own office ... because they helped cover it up years ago. If the sheriff goes down, so will they. Eve is agonizing over her moral dilemma when a helicopter crashes in the hillside below her Calabasas home. It's not a coincidence. Eve soon discovers among the twisted wreckage and dead passengers shocking connections to her own past ... and they lead straight to a fight for her life.
