Detective Kristen Conner returns to Chicago from a period of rehab at Quantico with the FBI and is immediately immersed in a new murder investigation. Jack Durham, a millionaire bad-boy, has been beat to death with a hammer, and her division at the Chicago PD is under the gun to solve the case. The investigation leads Kristen to an undercover job as a high-priced escort trying to get information from Durham's inner circle of acquaintances. The "madam" in charge of the call-girl operation gives Kristen a crash course in how to take care of her man. Kristen's own love life is not exactly on solid ground. Sometimes she's not sure she really has one. How is she going to pull this off?

Kristen's cover is blown on her second date when she runs into her journalist sister at a $1000-a-plate affair. So much for working undercover. Will they ever get a break in this case? Just when they have no other leads, the madam who runs the escort service is killed -- beaten to death with a hammer. Is there a connection between these two murders? If things couldn't get any worse, Kristen also has a stalker. Someone is leaving the same text message continually on her phone, and she discovers her apartment has been bugged.

EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE is a riveting, fast-paced suspense that will keep you hooked from the opening scene. Kristen is a strong, smart character who is involved in everything from coaching her niece's soccer team to Sunday dinners with her loving, but often suffocating, large family. And will her relationship with her on-again, off-again love interest, FBI agent Austin Reynolds, ever evolve into something more permanent? With an additional murder investigation thrown in the mix, this is a story about ethnic prejudices, judgmental attitudes and forgiveness. You will not want to miss this thriller!
