Cry Wolf is the fourth in the terrific Laura Cardinal Series.  Laura is a police investigator in Arizona who steps in to help police departments throughout the region.  Everything about murder victim Sean Perrin is a lie -- I can't help but wonder if Black took the name from the old British sitcom, The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.  Just like Reggie, Sean has built a fantasy persona.  Laura finds lie after lie after lie with just kernals of truth in them and Laura must figure out which is the one grain of truth.  She compares solving murders with a jigsaw puzzle and in this book, we watch as she adds piece after piece to the puzzle until they fit only one way and we see the whole picture.  This book is so riveting, I couldn't put it down and couldn't wait to find out what in this man's life made him create the fantasy world in which he is ultimately killed.  The plot twist caught me completely off guard, but was perfectly logical and reasonable.  A wonderful read.
