of our Ezine!
by Tami Hoag
It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way of a conviction. When an unknown assailant attacks her two of Minneapolis's top cops are called upon to solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm. Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn't far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly straightforward case cartwheels out of control.
"Starred Review A simple court hearing explodes into a multifaceted case at the start of this stunning meld of thriller and police procedural from bestseller Hoag." - Publishers Weekly.
"A first-rate thriller with an ending that will knock your socks off." - Booklist.
