Voodoo River

This is an okay book written by Robert Crais. L.A. private eye Elvis Cole is hired by popular television star Jodie Taylor to delve into her past and identify the biological parents who gave her up for adoption 36 years before. Cole’s assignment is to find out their medical history and report back. It seems all too clear cut. But when he gets to Louisiana and begins his search, he finds out there’s something much darker going on. Other people are also looking for Taylor’s parents; and some are ending up dead. And then Cole discovers that the actress knows more than she is admitting.

This is the fifth novel in the series.
