Synopsis

Born into a fine old Charleston family, Hammond Cross is determined to be the city's next district attorney-without sacrificing his integrity. Prosecuting the sensational murder of real estate magnate Lute Pettijohn could be his ticket into the office. Yet while Hammond anticipates his success, someone near him is plotting his downfall--

Steffi Mundell, colleague, ex-lover, and rival for the DA's office--Rory Smilow, the homicide detective without equal and Hammond's avowed enemy--the wily and beautiful Davee Pettijohn, Lute's widow and Hammond's lifelong friend, who's too honest to mourn the husband she despised--and Hammond's prime suspect, the mysterious woman who shares the secret that would be fatal to Hammond's ambitions.

For the first time in his career, he's bending the rules in favor of the suspect. All clues point to her guilt. Yet she holds in reserve the perfect alibi-Hammond Cross.

Reseña completa:[URL not allowed] Cómo me gusta Sandra Brown! No puedo decir que esta novela sea romántica porque, aunque hay romance, es secundario. Tiene peso, sí y, quizás más que en otras novelas, pero su relación me ha parecido física y falta de ternura. Y, en general, dada......more

After checking the book out by mistake, the plot once again was intriguing but looooooooooooooooooong. The romance was silly. The culprit was well disguised. A good few ideas for mystery authors.......more

One night of "escaping reality" turns into a long, ominous nightmare for Prosecutor Hammond Cross. A spur of the moment decision turned into a night of passion with a mysterious woman who was gone by dawn's light. Hammond doesn't even know her name. He will before long, and it just may be his downfa......more
