Quinn\u2019s mother died early, and her father trained her to be a detective from the time she was a child. Rourke\u2019s, as well as Quinn\u2019s, partners \u2014 Mikey Bruzeau and \u201cDobby\u201d Dobson, respectively \u2014 are drawn reluctantly into the drama.<\/p><p>The plot revolves around a murder-kidnapping event that involves the powerful Hudson family. Charles Hudson\u2019s wife had been murdered, and his daughter Grace had been kidnapped. One night, five years ago, Rourke phoned Quinn to tell her that, finally, he had solved the case. He was drunk \u2014 not an unusual condition since his wife died \u2014 and Quinn told him to get sober and hung up on him. The next time she saw him, he was dead. Police called his demise a suicide. And Quinn tried to get on with her life, until\u2026.<\/p><p>Quinn is contacted by Eden Riley, a young woman from DeKalb, whose mother Angela recently died. Eden tells Quinn that she is writing a book about the Hudson case. She also relates an unlikely story which may have some vague connection to the Hudson murder-kidnapping. This intrigues Quinn because that unsolved case may have driven Rourke \u2014 the kind of police detective who stayed on every case until it was closed \u2014 to kill himself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set in New Orleans, Erica Spindler\u2019s latest blockbuster mystery, \u201cThe Detective\u2019s Daughter\u201d (2022, 395 pages in paperback format), centers on a crime that is the obsession of two generations of NOPD detectives: Rourke Connors and his daughter Quinn.
