This is a fantastic debut police procedural book. It is a fast paced crime thriller with a lot of twists and turns with a great surprise ending . The protagonist DCI Erika Foster is a kick ass strong woman who fights to get justice for the victims and does not care about police politics. She is not above embarrassing or blackmailing her boss and friend Marsh who wants to do the right thing but gets swayed by politics. The end was great and I did not see it coming . Overall a great read if you like police procedures and this book will keep you guessing till the end .Cannot wait to read the next installment in this series THE NIGHT STALKER

Loved it!
I couldn't stop reading it, it was absolutely great and parts where I couldn't read because I had errands to run I listened to the audio it was absolutely great and will continue to read the rest of the series... DCI Foster is an awesome character and I look forward to reading more.

La historia arranca muy bien. De inmediato se nos narra un asesinato y luego empieza todo el trabajo policial. Sin embargo, a medida que avanza la historia empieza a decaer. Erika Forter (la detective protagonista) es el típico estereotipo de detective veterano ultra dedicado a su trabajo con una gran tragedia sobre los hombros (muy trillado). Luego vienen los "oportunos" actos que permiten que la trama llegue hasta el final, un final muy flojo. Estos oportunos actos además arruinan el misterio de la novela, ya que nuestra heroína detective no es que descubra mucho, y al final, todo se resuelve con una "oportuna" confesión obtenida de la forma más ridícula posible.
Me gustó como está escrito, me gustó el ritmo, pero lamentablemente es una historia que se va a pique después de la mitad.
