Narcotics detective Ken Goode has been trying to earn his
way onto the homicide detective squad. When he finds the
body of a woman, he's convinced working the case will
finally get him out of the narcotics division. But his
career aspirations soon are replaced by fear for his
sister, who's attending the same beauty school that seems
to be connected to the murder.
A couple of suspects quickly stand out during his
investigation, but Goode is feeling pressure as more bodies
are found. He desperately tracks the steps of the two men,
annoyed when a cub reporter seems to be either one step
ahead of, or behind, him. In the end, that reporter puts
his own life in danger when his questions take him right to
the killer.
The convolutions in NAKED ADDICTION will keep you uncertain
of the end right until the final pages. Unfortunately, I
just couldn't bring myself to care about the characters.
Ms. Rother's writing style has an element of distance to it
that made me read this book without becoming emotionally
involved.
A fictional tale of sex, drugs and police detective Ken
Goode’s investigation into the murder of young beauty
school students in two San Diego beach communities -- is
Rother’s first thriller.
