Hancock Park

Written by Katherine V. Forrest

Narrated by Kate Zane

LAPD Detective Kate Delafield has a new, iron-willed female lieutenant-a tough new partner who may turn out to be a much-needed ally. She also has a dangerous new case.

A reclusive old man has been brutally slain at the La Brea Tar Pits. The unusual investigation could uncover the truth of humanity's ancient past, and at the same time expose the corruption and violence of the present. And everyone involved-from an alluring scientist with a dark secret to a treacherous CIA officer with his own agenda-is suspect.

With more at stake than just a pile of bones, Kate has to gather together the pieces of a timeless puzzle, and make sure they all fit-before a remorseless killer decides to make her a part of history . . .

Reviews for Hancock Park

[Rosemary J. Stanek · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Katherine V Forrest takes the listener/reader back and forth in time in order to communicate all the information needed to complete this chapter in Kate Delafield’s life and career. This is unique story organization in a series that is typically linear. It works well, and captures Detective Delafield’s unraveling.

N.B. There is a volume missing in this series, “High Desert”, between “Hancock Park” and “Delafield”. I assume it’s because the “High Desert” audiobook was published by Audible Studios in 2014, whereas the other 9 volumes were published by Tantor Audio Inc in 2022.
