Book Description:
Juggling a family and a career is never easy-and it's becoming a real challenge for Sheriff Joanna Brady. Coping with the impending delivery of her second child as well as a staff shortage, the last things Joanna needs are two serious crimes.

First, the body of an unidentified man is found in the desert, all of his fingers savagely severed. Following the scant clues, Joanna learns that the victim was an ex-con who had served twenty years in prison after confessing to the murder of his pregnant wife. During his last days he was seen following and photographing a young woman.

Then one of Joanna's officers is brutally attacked and left for dead while on an unauthorized stakeout. Because the officer is one of its own, the department throws its resources into finding her attacker.

But the murder haunts Joanna. Being a sheriff is no longer an empty position she wants to hold -- somehow it has become what she is. Her job is to avenge man's inhumanity toward man, and finding out who the victim was and why he is dead is what she has been summoned to do with her life. Strapping on a bulletproof vest, she'll risk everything to see that justice is done.

Sheriff Joanna Brady is now expecting her second child and deals with two brutal crimes in this latest novel by J A Jance. This one involves a savage assault on one of her own offices as well as that of a stranger. It is very good and I couldn't put it down once I started it. If you are a J A Jance fan, you won't be disppointed. If you haven't read one of the Joanna Brady books, this is a good one to try!

Excellent read. Sheriff Joanna Brady, days away from delivering her son, finds herself trying to solve three crimes including the attempted murder of one of her own officers. The story is fast-paced, full of action and leaves you puzzled until the very end. Quite an adventure!

Another page-turner by Jance. Very well-written and suspenseful. Joanna Brady juggles two crimes while at the end of her second pregnancy. Never a dull moment.

Another good Joanna Brady book. I like that she not only has a professional life but we keep up with her family also. This is a good mystery.

Another great Sheriff Joanna Brady book. Very fast paced with great action. Joanna is pregnant and still out there getting things done. Great book!

If you like some reasonably fast action and stories that do not get hung up on long descriptive passages, you will likely appreciate J. A. Jance.
