Book description
Two teenage girls are victims of a bloody Valentine's Day shooting;
one survives, the other is less fortunate...
It's one of a rising number of violent incidents in the city,
and DI Charlie Resnick, nearing retirement, is hauled back to the
front line to help deal with the fallout. But when the dead girl's
father seeks to lay the blame on DI Lynn Kellogg, Resnick's colleague
and lover, the line between personal and professional becomes
dangerously blurred.
As Lynn, shaken by this very public accusation, is forced to
question her part in the teenager's death, Resnick struggles against
those in the force who disapprove of his maverick ways. But when the
unimaginable occurs, an emotional Resnick will need all his strength
to see justice done.
