In the tradition of Kathy Reichs and Jeffery Deaver, a
talented novelist introduces a gutsy forensic investigator
caught in the middle of an explosive crisis
Early one Thursday morning, forensic
scientist Theresa MacLean is called to the scene of a
gruesome murder. The body of a man has been found on the
front lawn of a house in suburban Cleveland, the back of
his head bashed in. Although it's not the best start to
her day, Theresa has been through worse. What unfolds
during the next eight hours, though, is nothing she could
ever have imagined.
Downtown at the Federal
Reserve Bank, her police detective fiancé is taken hostage
with six others in a robbery masterminded by two clever
criminals. When she arrives at the scene, Theresa
discovers that the police have brought in the city's best
hostage negotiator: handsome, high-profile Chris
Cavanaugh. He hasn't lost a victim yet, but Theresa
wonders if he might be too arrogant to save the day this
time around.
When her fiancé is injured, she
seizes the opportunity to trade places with him. Once on
the inside, she will use all her wiles, experience, and
technical skills to gain control of the situation. But
what initially appears to be a bank heist turns into
something far more complex and deadly, and Theresa must
decide how much more she is willing to sacrifice in order
to save the lives of innocent people as well as her own.
