Eight years ago, she lost her husband Paul and her son Paulie during a robbery at a corner store. At the time of the murder, Stevie was pregnant with her second child.

Also, is a match book which puts Sam in a tizzy. He knows that he was at this strip club, but why would someone send him this now? Sam's father had left his mother and him when Sam was a young child. Sam's father John was a drug addict and would beat his wife when she wouldn't give him the money for drugs.

Robinette, tried to focus the attention onto his son who is a drug addict. Stevie chases him down to try and help him, but he pulls a gun, and Stevie has no choice but to take him out.

How do all of these incidents and characters fit together? WATCH YOUR BACK because you never know who or what will happen.

Karen Rose writes a great suspension novel. I feel she is right up there with the likes of James Patterson or James Sheehan. Karen Rose had me all over the place trying to figure out what would happen next. I have to say, I didn't figure this one out until almost the end. This tells me what a great writer Karen Rose is. If I can figure out a book way before the ending, I lose interest. But not in WATCH YOUR BACK

SUMMARY

A cold case reopened. A murderer re–emerging more deadly than ever before...

Baltimore Homicide Detective Stevie Mazzetti has suffered losses no woman should have to endure. And, despite it all, she's still a fighter. When she learns that her ex–partner might have miscarried justice, she's determined to put the past to rights, even when she becomes a target.

It's former Marine Clay Maynard's job to see the risk in every situation, but he doesn't have to look hard to find the danger surrounding Stevie. Since the minute he first saw her, Clay has wanted to protect the wounded officer, and he started loving her not long after that. So when Stevie attracts the attention of a vicious psychopath, Clay will do whatever it takes to keep her alive. That is, if he can stay ahead of a killer with everything to lose—and something terrifying to hide...
