Book Description: A prosecutor of violent criminals. A detective on a dangerous beat. When these two pros take on an off-the-books case, the line between professional and personal becomes perilously blurred.
When a twenty-two-year-old convict walks into the courtroom, his eyes confirm what Mia Quinn already guesses: he blames her for his conviction. In seconds, he knocks her to the ground and holds a razor blade to her throat. While she manages to escape without injury, it's just one more reminder that Mia's job prosecuting Seattle's s most dangerous criminals is far from low risk.
As a single mom, the last thing Mia wants is for her work to follow her home or discover that it already has.
Now Detective Charlie Carlson is suggesting the very thing Mia doesn't want to believe—that her accountant husband’s deadly car accident was no accident at all. When Mia and Charlie encounter resistance to reopening the case, they take the investigation into their own hands. And they find much more than they bargained for.
Was Mia's husband more than an accountant . . . and less than an honest man? As the truth becomes more shocking and the case grows more complex, her husband's killers take note of Mia . . . and her children. How far will this prosecutor go to learn the truth about her husband—and how far will she have to go to protect her family?
My Thoughts: Oh.Be.Still.My.Heart! I have waited (it seems like forever ) for the next Mia Quinn mystery. And here it is!
Mia is a prosecutor. And usually her job is stressful and full but today when that twenty-two-year old walks into the courtroom Mia senses/knows that he blames her for his predicament. Uh!Yeah! She did the crime! Honestly these criminals make one SO angry. As the reader can tell this is a one great suspense read! I was SO angry at the criminal . . . a good sign that an author brings out emotion in the reader.
Mia is a single mom because her husband was killed in a deadly car accident. But now Detective Carlson telling her the one thing she really doesn't want to hear. Her husband's accident was probably not an accident! And to top.it.all.off! Her husband seems to have been into some shady dealings.
Poor Mia! She is a single mom who wants to blend into the woodwork. She doesn't want these criminals to know that she has a family and where she lives.
This is one of Lis Wiehl's best books! The suspense is, well for a lack of another word, suspenseful! {smile} One of those I'm looking over my shoulder as I read in bed at night! Yeah!That good!
