Mystery Police Procedural
For two minutes she was dead. The assailant was vicious, the attack brutal–and it left
her lifeless . . . until her pulse fluttered and she jolted
awake. Now, a year later, detective Nan Vining is still
questioning her strength, her safety, even her sanity: Can
she ever again be the cop–and mother–she was before? And
will her attacker someday return to finish the job, before
she can track him down herself? Shaky but determined, Vining rejoins the Pasadena PD, only
to confront a murder case that strikes close to home: A
slain policewoman has been discovered beneath the Colorado
Street Bridge, her body bruised, her throat slit. Even as
Vining struggles to recover her standing within the
department, she can’t help but feel profoundly drawn to the
murdered officer, Frankie Lynde–and she is deeply troubled
by the baffling otherworldly visions that haunt her waking
hours. Are these mere fever dreams? Or could they be, as
Vining’s daughter insists, messages from beyond the grave? Digging deeper into Lynde’s past, Vining discovers clues
that set her on the twisted trail of a killer as ruthless
as he is depraved–a predator whose methods and madness
recall those of her own attacker. Amid a rising tide of
danger, she pushes herself to bold new limits, desperate to
avenge the murder of a fellow police officer . . . and to
reclaim the life she lost a year ago.
