Summary

#1 New York Times Bestselling author Tami Hoag returns to the bestselling series of her career with a Kovac and Liska case that will delight fans and new listeners alike.

A murder from the past. A murder from the present. And a life that was never meant to be....

As the dreary, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless. After moving to the cold case squad in order to spend more time with her sons, she misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter, the sense of urgency of hunting a murderer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Sam is having an even harder time adjusting to Nikki's absence, saddled with a green new partner younger than pieces of Sam's wardrobe. Sam is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a middle-aged husband and wife bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Nikki's case, the unsolved murder of a family man, community leader, and decorated sex crimes detective for the Minneapolis PD, is less of a distraction: twenty years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away.

On the other end of the spectrum, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster homes: a beautiful home, a family, people who love her, a fulfilling job. Little does she know that a danger from her past is stalking her perfect present. A danger powerful enough to pull in both Kovac and Liska and destroy the perfect life she was never meant to have.

Rollicking good story

I was gripped by the story, the first Tami Hoag
I have read. But why does the male reader make all women sound like childish breathy hookers

Another brilliant story from Tami Hoag

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The plot was well plan and kept you waiting until the very end to see 'who dunnit'.

Gritty US Police drama

High literature it isn't but solid writing and a page turner. Gritty precinct police drama with interesting characters and no 'super hero cop', just these hardened detectives doing their jobs.
Think Ed Mcbain, think NYPD Blue (if your memory stretches back that far).
This is my second Hoag book and I will certainly look out for more when seeking this genre.
