Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy is called to the scene of an apparent suicide and sends for Sarah Brandt to help with the victim’s distressed pregnant wife. Soon after Sarah arrives, Frank realizes that he’s looking at a murder that someone tried to disguise. Of course, he’s not going to be able to detach Sarah from inserting herself into the case.

This was a real poser as there were quite a few potential suspects and interesting revelations throughout the story. I enjoy the investigative rhythm ...more
