Detective Shoni Alexander's career is on the skids. After
her mother's death from a hit-and-run, Shoni battles
fatigue and anger over the lack of justice in the case. The
driver escaped prosecution due to a technicality. The need
for revenge eats into her gut. Her boss threatens to remove
her from her current case involving a serial arsonist due
to lack of results. What Shoni doesn't need in her life are
any more complications. However, when a gang assaults a
homeless man, her life takes a dramatic turn.
John McClane remembers nothing of his past. He's been on
the street for several weeks with only vague flashbacks. An
uneasy feeling keeps him from going to the police for help.
But when he sees an arsonist setting a fire, John gets
intense police scrutiny. While Shoni interviews him on the
street, an attempt is made on his life. The evidence shows
a professional hit man behind the endeavor. Shoni glues
herself to John while trying to unravel the mystery.
Feelings flare between them, but John's murky past prevents
them from acting upon those feelings. Danger increases as
more attempts are made on John's life. Shoni and John
flounder, as they do not know who to trust. Who are friends
and who are enemies?
Ms. McKade has created an intensely suspenseful drama set
within a five-day time span. Using the premise of not being
able to trust keeps the tension high. Add three-dimensional
secondary characters and you have a top-notch romantic
suspense novel.
Shattered by her mother’s death—and the fact that the
killer got off scot-free—Detective Shon Alexander is
prepared to take the law into her own hands. Nothing will
get in her way. Not her badge, not her big arson
investigation, and definitely not the mysterious witness
who seems to see right through her.
