See How They Hide: A Quinn and Costa Investigation

Brennan reunites Det. Kara Quinn and FBI special agent Matt Costa for a suitably entertaining sixth case (after The Missing Witness). Jane Merrifield, a 22-year-old college senior in Ashland, Ore., and Robert Benson, a 47-year-old antique store owner in Weems, Va., have both had their throats slit and their bodies strewn with hundreds of dried red poppies. Quinn and Costa know they’re looking for at least two killers, since the homicides occurred within a three-hour window, but both victims were kind and well-liked, making it difficult to pinpoint a motive. The investigation eventually leads Quinn and Costa to Jane’s roommate, Riley Pierce, who has information about an isolated community in the Colorado mountains that might be key to solving the murders. Fans will appreciate seeing how the relationships between members of Costa’s mobile response team evolve, including a softening of the dynamic between Quinn and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Catherine Jones, and the climax is legitimately nail-biting. This gets the job done. Agent: Daniel Conaway, Writers House. (Jan.)
