I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Blistering, high-octane suspense that never lets up.”— New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards Only thanks to client confidentiality Sam can't reveal his client's name. Which immediately makes him Kit's number one suspect. Assistant District Attorney Kaj Cardozo has only lived in New Orleans for six months, but he is known in both New York and in his new home city for his fight against corruption. He’s also working a high-profile celebrity assault case that is getting publicity across the country. When his son Elijah becomes the target of a kidnapping attempt, Kaj hires Broussard Investigations to protect Elijah. Val Sorensen is the person assigned to be his bodyguard and the firm is hired to investigate the incident. The investigation reveals more than they bargained for, as drugs, corruption, and murder are discovered.

This story is loaded with action, grit, gruesome imagery, and even some sweet lightheartedness that provides the balance to even out the crime and suspense levels. An up-all-night, unforgettable tale of secrets, lies, and taut suspense. Readers will want to grab this one!”— New York Times bestselling authorCarla NeggersThough this was a tad lighter on the romance than I expected, it did not impact my reading experience. I suspect the author is setting the scene for the next book. This story is complex with many facets that will wind you up right along with the plot. Rose is not shy about writing with passion, guts, and the raw feelings involved with crimes. She dives into the personal aspects and we even get hints of a budding romance heating up. Both Meredith and Adam are “damaged goods” (some of the previous Cincinnati books go more in-depth into it) and, somehow, they manage to have deep feelings for each other. These feelings might just be what saves them both.
