It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the
most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a
scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees
that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only
Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her
ruling that Dahl’s prior criminal record is inadmissible
raises a public outcry–and puts the judge in grave danger.
When an unknown assailant attacks Judge Moore in a parking
garage, two of Minneapolis’s top cops are called upon to
solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm.
Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his
wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn’t far behind. Neither
one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes
from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly
straightforward case cartwheels out of control.
The stakes go even higher when the judge is
kidnapped–snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit
outside, watching her house. Now Kovac and Liska must
navigate through a maze of suspects that includes the
stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life,
and a rogue cop looking for revenge where the justice system
failed.
With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a
strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who
they seem and everyone is guilty of Prior Bad Acts.
