Ashes To Ashes
by Tami Hoag
Kate Conlan left the FBI after facing tragedy and then scandal. She's built a comfortable life in her home town of Minneapolis as a Victim's Advocate. Things are quiet and steady. Then she walks into work one day in time to profile a shooter getting ready to act in the lobby. After taking him down, she gets called in to be assigned the case of a young witness to the most recent, heinous act of the killer the press had dubbed the Cremator.
The most recent victim is believed to be the daughter of a leading citizen and before Kate can catch her breath, her partner in scandal, John Quinn arrives from Quantico. Things are just beginning to get uncomfortable.
Although it's the first book in Kovac and Liska series, it's more of an ensemble piece, visiting the points of view of many characters: Kate, John, Kovac, Liska, Angie - the witness and even the killer. Her history is in romance so she is often about relationships.
This is a gritty, dark book. The characters are human and flawed and easy to like and even easier to hate. Even the "Mighty Quinn" has a foot that's at least encased in clay. It was also a thrilling cat and mouse game with twists and turns that loop the loop.
I've been a fan of Tami Hoag since she wrote for Loveswept. I think I mention that in every review. I remain a fan. I think she creates terrific characters and then gives them a real story to shine in.
