Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Deputy coroner Clay Edison goes to extreme lengths for a forgotten Jane Doe in the new thriller from a father-son team of bestselling authors who write “brilliant, page-turning fiction” (Stephen King).

“As for the keen sense of drama, it must be a genetic trait. . . . The Kellermans show compassion for the survivors, including conscientious officials like Edison.”—The New York Times Book Review

Former star basketball player Clay Edison is busy. He’s solved a decades-old crime and redeemed an innocent man, earning himself a suspension in the process. Things are getting serious with his girlfriend. Plus his brother’s fresh out of prison, bringing with him a whole new set of complications.

Then the phone rings in the dead of night.

A wild party in a gentrifying East Bay neighborhood. A heated argument that spills into the street. Gunshots. Chaos.

For Clay and his fellow coroners, it’s the start of a long night and the first of many to come. The victims keep piling up. What begins as a community tragedy soon becomes lurid fodder for social media.

Then the smoke clears and the real mystery emerges—one victim’s death doesn’t match the others. Brutalized and abandoned, stripped of ID, and left to die: She is Jane Doe, a human question mark. And it falls to Clay to give her a name and a voice.

Haunted by the cruelty of her death, he embarks upon a journey into the bizarre, entering a hidden world where innocence and perversity meet and mingle. There, his relentless pursuit of the truth opens the gateway to a dark and baffling past—and brings him right into the line of fire.

Praise for A Measure of Darkness

“Edison is an interesting protagonist, a good man for whom finding the truth is more important than anything else, including his own safety. He’s gentle and strong, compassionate and ruthless, methodical and impulsive. A strong sequel to Crime Scene that will leave readers wanting to see more of Edison.”Booklist.

Quick Read, Clay Edison is no Alex Delaware; Kellerman/Kellerman are no Jonathan Kellerman. Generally depressing. Strongly suspect that this book was written by Jesse. ( )

Permissiveness and True Freedom Explored

"We are who we are in relation to others", the author states. This wonderfully painful journey through the external issues facing society down to the very personal meaning of free will is the Hallmark of Jonathan Kellerman at his best. Looking through the eyes of Detective Clay Edison, the reader is swept up and yet able to observe at the same time a confusing, oddly paced mixture of events ultimately leading to a conclusion, shall I say, is up to each reader's interpretation. Highly recommended. ( )

A Measure of Darkness takes place in Oakland, California. It is not a thriller like other Kellerman books but it is suspenseful. Clearly Jonathan Kellerman is passing the torch of suspenseful writing to his son, Jesse. The story has believable characters, settings and predicaments. It received four stars in this review because of its good story. ( )

Very disappointing. I literally fell asleep multiple times while listening to this. The plot is quite ho-hum and the character development is poor. I want to know and care about characters, even in a police procedural story such as this. No more of this Clay Edison series for this reader! ( )
