Book Description:
A riveting new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Retribution.
Cops are dying. Hunted down while on patrol, they are being murdered while trying to protect the citizens of Miami from this very type of crime. Dominick Falconetti, an agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, is charged with heading a task force to investigate. Details at the crime scenes point to a drug connection, and when a highly-placed gang member disappears, it reinforces Dominick's suspicions that these cops were all involved in something unsavory.
C. J. Townsend, the state prosecutor he has loved for the past three years-ever since they met on the infamous Cupid investigation-is getting the calls in the middle of the night as well. As the state attorney who put Florida's last serial killer behind bars, she's the logical choice to help stop this one. But before long, C.J. begins to suspect that she knows an even more terrible secret than Dominick does about why these cops are being murdered.
A tense, gripping crime drama set against the richly detailed background of the Miami legal system and police department.

Anything by Jilliane Hoffman is good. She not a well known author but this book, or any of her other two books will keep you on the edge of your seat. She's one author that I really keep an eye on for new releases.

I thought this was a really interesting crime novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am on the lookout for more novels by her now because I thought this story was written very well and I had trouble putting it down!

Excellent book! If you enjoyed her first, Retribution, this one was even better.

I liked the book very much, because the characters are ones that seem real and the plot was good too.

Vivian Q. (Another terrific page turner from Hoffman. It helps to have read the prequel - Retribution. There's plenty of gore and twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. However, I didn't like that the ending set you up for a possible third installment. I hope not, C.J.'s been through enough.
Shannon J. (Protags: CJ Townsend
Setting: Miami, Florida
First Sentence: "The heavy wooden doors to courtroom 4-8 swung open again, tapping the back of the chair where a corrections officer sat fiddling with the bottom snap on his department-issued green windbreaker."
Comments: 2nd book in series. A nice follow-up to her first book RETRIBUTION which was my favorite book of 2004.
