Synopsis

A stunning new novel of chilling suspense and explosive chemistry from New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross.

Chicago homicide detective Kate Delaney fiercely defends victims. Which is why–despite death threats–she’s testifying to a federal grand jury about local police corruption. It’s also why she’s infuriated by the New Orleans police department’s blasé attitude toward her estranged sister’s death. But pursuing an investigation in a strange city means allying with someone who knows the territory. And the players. Someone with a total disregard for the rules.

As an ex-cop from a police family, New Orleans PI Nick Broussard knows that cops live by their own code. You don’t rat out a fellow officer. The last thing he needs is some smart-mouthed, by-the-book outsider unknowingly injecting herself into his undercover search for the truth. Even worse is the way she conjures up visions of tangled sheets. . . .

Nick and Kate’s chase pits them against the criminal underworld of the sultry southern city. And as they peel away layers of deadly deception, they discover a dark secret too many are willing to kill to keep.

Reviews

AudiobooksNow review by Carolyn on 2007-12-04 22:53:07

From the reviews I read about Joann Ross' book, NO SAFE PLACE, I was expecting a tense, exciting thrilling suspense novel. Instead I got a romance novel disguised as serious suspense and I was very disappointed. The romantic aspects of the story were the least interesting parts of the book and I found myself getting bored with it. The book could have been so much better without it because it never realized its full potential in its characters, setting or story line. Ms Ross does write well enough but to resort to the soap opera convention of hate/attraction between Nick and Kate was a real downfall to the story.

This book rates only two stars in my review. While in general I like the book and it was a quick read, I was disappointed in the ending. The main villian in the book is not even part of the conclusiion, he is not even mentioned at any time. It made no sense to me.

Rating: 4 Stars!! Review: This was only the 2nd Book I've read by JoAnn so I kind of knew what to expect but I have to say I was expecting this one to be better than "On Lavender Lane" but sadly this one was slow like that one was. The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. I liked learning......more

Goodreads review by Wendy on July 08, 2010

Though I had read this book before I still found it full of suspense, hot and steamy and romance. The setting of New Orleans helped to create a Cajun/french background that set the stage for a great story. Nick Broussard is an Ex-Navy Seal turned cop for the city of a ravaged New Orleans, in the aft......more

Goodreads review by Linda on November 17, 2011

The thriller part of the book was OK, but the author needs to learn when to inject sexual content into the plot. In my opinion, the fact that the heroine is thinking about the hero's erection while they are lying on the ground because someone is trying to shoot them isn't too credible. All too often......more

Goodreads review by Judith on May 28, 2020

This is some sort of romance novel. I think it comes under the heading "romantic suspense", having read some of those. The story: Kate Delaney, detective from Chicago, heads to New Orleans to learn more about the death of her twin sister, Tara. The two had not seen each other in ten years or more, be......more
