Mace is a good cop with a solid reputation, until she is kidnapped, drugged and involved in a crime she can't even remember. An overzealous lawyer manages to get her convicted and sent to prison for 2 years. Even her sister, the Chief of Police, couldn't stop the conviction.
Now Mace is out and wants her reputation and her career back. She has to struggle through rumors and a ruined reputation, along with a hateful attorney who would love nothing more than to send her back to prison.
Mace hooks up with a high priced lawyer who found his partner dead and wants to know why and if he's next. A routine investigation, with Mace not officially on it, turns very dark and sinister the deeper they dig.
A big book, one you can really sink your teeth into. Lots of police procedure involved and enough intrigue to keep you going. I enjoyed the fact that the two main characters are both tough women in big careers - but still feminine. If you like police fiction, this a perfect book for you.
