Kim Stone is back in an enthralling fifth book!
In the series first installment, "Evil Games", Detective Inspector Stone faced off against the only suspect who has ever truly gotten under her skin. Alexandra Thorne is a manipulative psychiatrist whom has always been able to get others to to her bidding. Prison has been no different. And she has set her sights on Kim.
While unaware of Alex's machinations, Kim is sent to a confounding crime scene.
A respected social worker is found with a single, fatal stab wound to the heart. The killer has left behind one strand of hair as the only piece of forensic evidence. The case grinds to a halt with no obvious suspect and DNA tests pending.
Suddenly another victim is thrown into the mix. A young drug addict is found dead, her body having the same stab wound and no evidence left at the scene. How can the two very different victims be tied together?
While trying to solve the seemingly unsolvable case, Kim is pulled back into Alex's grasp. Kim is forced to face the ghosts of her past and a possibly devestating future.Alex weaves a web of deception intent on destroying the detective's sanity.
This book takes a deeper look into Kim's life story than previous installments of the series. Kim is an outsider, keeping everyone at a distance. While being a bit of a maverick, Kim is an intuitive detective; in spite of her scars, or possibly because of them.
She leads her team with determination, respect and loyalty. She expects nothing less in return. This book delves into the unique skills of each team member and showcases their character development without overwhelming the intricate plot.
While Kim has a past that the reader is unable to relate to, she is written as heartbreaking character. A woman who is one of the most admirable in the mystery\suspense\thriller genre today.
