Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestsellng author of Seeing Red comes a "scorching...action-filled" (Publishers Weekly) tale of corruption and betrayal, revenge, and reversal.

When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up to find herself in bed with Jay Burgess, a star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there—or how Jay wound up dead. Handsome, hard-partying Jay was one of four heroic city officials who risked their lives five years earlier to lead others to safety from a catastrophic fire. His lifelong friend, Raley Gannon, was later assigned to investigate the blaze. But Raley never finished the inquiry because one calamitous night his career was destroyed by scandal. Now, the newswoman whose biased reporting helped bring about Raley's downfall might be his only chance to vindicate himself and get justice for the fire's victims. But the more Raley and Britt discover about that fateful day, the more perilous the situation becomes, until they're not only chasing the truth but running for their lives.

Reviews

AudiobooksNow review by Laura on 2010-01-12 14:09:34

This story has a lot of conversation between characters describing action which happened in the past. And they talk and talk and talk... It would have been a better book if there was a little less conversation and a little more action. Even the ending... as one previous reviewer described it a Scooby Doo cartoon ending -- again with the characters talking and talking about what they or others had done. All this talking took away a lot of promised excitement when the story began with a woman walking up in bed with a dead man.
