Amarylis Coltraine had recently transferred to the New York City police force from Atlanta, but she's been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself against an assailant.

OMG, this book was a killer! Eve deals with death every day, but not the death of someone that matters. Investigating a cop killer is bad enough, but when Eve's emotions and friendships get involved - you know you're in for quite the story. Loved every minute and there were quite a few moments where tears trailed down my face. The mystery was impressive and Eve handled it so well. Continuing to love this series - 28 books in!

Amarylis Coltraine is a police officer and is dead. She's in a relationship with one of Eve's friends, as Eve starts to dig what she finds is more questions than answers and ties that link back to Alex Ricker, the son of a man Eve clashed with before. A man determined to make Eve pay.

It's pretty typical Eve Dallas stuff, some of the twists were quite interesting, some of it did strain credulity but didn't quite break it for me. An enjoyable visit with characters that can be enjoyed but nothing terribly memorable.
