    About this ebook

    The apparent suicide of an ex-cop leads Sarah Burke to investigate three bizarre deaths in three years in the same family . . .
     
    Police detective Sarah Burke's Saturday off is interrupted when she is called to duty—a rookie cop has been involved in a shootout with a criminal stealing copper wire from a warehouse. When the criminal in question turns out to be Ed “Red Man” Lacey, a former colleague on the force, Sarah is shocked. The evidence suggests he was committing suicide-by-cop. But why—and how did Ed go from a respected career in law enforcement to this?
     
    Sarah and her team delve into Ed’s life, and soon decide to re-open an investigation into three deaths. The more they investigate, the more obstacles they encounter—particularly from the family, who quickly close ranks . . .
     
    “An old-fashioned Southwest procedural that builds at a satisfyingly snappy pace.” —Library Journal
     
    “Fans of Muller’s Sharon McCone, Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone, and Paretsky’s V. I. Warshawski will want to add Gunn’s Sarah Burke to their list.” —Booklist

      This fifth installment in the Sarah Burke series was very disappointing. The plot was so tortured that by the end I really didn't care about the crime or who or why. Development of Sarah's family dynamics, so integral to the previous books, seemed to be plugged in as afterthoughts.
