Description
When her new partner
is shot during a botched robbery, Detective Kelli Storm never expected that the
trail of the shooter would lead her to Colombian drug lord Miguel Garcia; the
man who’s cousin she had killed months earlier, and had made numerous attempts
on her life. A man she had believed to be dead.
Detectives Kelli
Storm and Eric Ryder follow the bloody trail of a notorious drug kingpin from
the streets of Washington Heights, New York and south to Medellin, Colombia.
When the suspect in
her partner’s shooting is killed while in custody, the man makes a startling
deathbed confession. With this revelation, Kelli finds herself unwillingly
thrown back into the world of the drug cartels. With the aid of DEA Special
Agent Gregory Larsen and Narcotics Detective Javier Vasquez, Kelli works to
stop the Cartel’s operations in the city, and bring down the notorious drug
lord.
Review
By Brooke Frederick
Kelli Storm is a New York
City police detective in a neighborhood where, despite famously improved crime
statistics, murder, robbery and gang violence are all daily occurrences. A
recovered alcoholic, Kelli is divorced from another cop, but now back together
with him. When she learns that a Colombian drug lord is gunning for her because
of a personal vendetta, her instinct is to face him down rather than run away.
The stage is set for a
gripping police procedural. With all her foibles on display, Kelli is a truly likeable
main character. The cat and mouse game with the bad guys is complicated further
by constantly shifting alliances among the different law enforcement agencies
involved, including DEA, FBI, the uniformed police and the detective unit. Not
to mention trust issues. The book contains powerful surprises that kept me
guessing right up to the ending, just the way I like it. Recommended.
