The story in a few words:
Set in Sacrament, California the inspiration behind this series is drawn from experiences from murder cases.
It opens with a bang:
Homicide detectives Emily Hunter and Javier Medica are called to the scene where Roger Townsend, a business tycoon was murdered and his wife Lori, brutally attacked. After an initial statement both detectives felt that Lori was hiding something. They followed leads but soon discovered that the case was politically connected and were quickly shut down. The detectives refused to do so and discovered that the case also had ties to gang and crooked members of the legal community……
We follow Emily and Javier navigate and find the truth…..
My thoughts:
This story is my introduction to James L’Étoile and I glad I was given the opportunity to get to know his style. I love police procedural and this story was a very exiting one. The author knows how to set facts in a blunt way with no fuzz and without unnecessary words to muddle the drama. This mystery moves at a breakneck speed and is one hard to put down…
I love how the author paints Sacramento, a city bursting with good cops and crooked cops, bad men and seductresses. This story is first class suspense thriller and the dialogue buzzes with authenticity. Mr. L’Étoile long career as criminal justice lends veracity to this page-turner.
Very well said and done
.I enjoyed passing time reading this mystery, I was so deeply immersed I actually didn’t see the time pass.
I received a copy of this book from Oceanview Publishing for my thoughts: thank you so much.
