WHITE SISTER
Stephen J. Cannell

Reviewed by Mandy Burns

Mystery Police Procedural | Thriller Police Procedural

Detective Shane Scully is finally in a place where he can be proud. His son, Chooch, is playing football for USC; his beautiful and talented wife, Alexa, is now Director of Operations for the LAPD; and he is not in any recent trouble with his superiors. What more can a guy ask for? So when Shane is preparing to relax after a long day of jail transport training and receives a phone call telling him to hurry to a crime scene, he has no idea that his life is about to tailspin out of control.

When Shane realizes that his wife is possibly a major piece in a crime scene puzzle, he goes into bad-boy-detective mode to find all of the pieces he knows he will need to ease his own mind, as well as solve the crime. Shane throws himself and his career into the dangerous world of gangster rap and the moguls who run it. During the investigation, Shane begins to doubt the love and stability he was enjoying before that dreaded call. Can Shane restore his faith in what he thought was real? Can he save those he has come to love? Shane will risk it all to do just that.

I have become addicted to Scully, plan and simple. WHITE SISTER, Cannell's sixth Shane Scully crime novel, is fast- paced, jaw-dropping and heartfelt. I could not put it down until I finished the last page. You will not be disappointed with this read or any of the other books in this excellent series.

SUMMARY

Leaving L.A.'s Parker Center, Shane Scully and his wife, Alexa, agree to meet at home in one hour. Shane gets there; Alexa doesn't. In the middle of the night, he's called to a crime scene on Mulholland Drive: The African-American victim, who appears to be a Crip gangbanger, has been executed gangland style. Shockingly, the body is in Alexa's car and her gun is found nearby. But Alexa is missing. Shane's frantic investigation into his wife's disappearance soon takes him inside a bitter and violent feud between two rival hip-hop record companies. At the center of this war is one of the most lethal adversaries he's ever encountered: Stacy Maluga, a trashy, beautiful Lady Macbeth-like white woman raised in Compton, married to a multi-millionaire rap mogul and known in the gangsta hip-hop world as the White Sister. Shane is no stranger to big trouble, but this time he's met his match in a powerful and media-savvy enemy who could put him in jail, order a hit on him, or utterly destroy his reputation. Worse, Shane fears that his wife may be dead and that the White Sister is behind it.
