Helpful Score: 1


Baltimore Police Detective Kay Delaney lost her partner a year ago in a shootout with serial killer Bernard Eales. She is finally getting it back together thanks to the capture and imprisonment of Eales, when a fresh murder copying Eales signature method of operation occurs. This throws Delaney back into partnership with former lover and fellow detective Danny Finnerty. As more murders occur the tension and frustration mount for Delaney and Finnerty. The tale starts slowly and involves quite a bit of backing and filling but as the book goes along the pace increases and you find yourself really beginning to empathize with the characters. A debut effort by Ms. Haus, her next, BLUE VALOR, is scheduled for a January, 2006 paperback release.
