Ross Reynolds interviews local novelist Robert Dugoni about his latest mystery, “My Sister’s Grave."

In it, Seattle homicide cop Tracy Crosswhite learns that the remains of her missing younger sister have been found by two hunters in the woods after 20 years.

In the book's acknowledgments, Dugoni writes that real people inspired the main character: Seattle homicide detective Jennifer Southworth and  former King County Sheriff Sue Rahr.
