Publisher Description
Breakneck marks the return of Detectives Mary Catherine (MC) Riggio and Kitt Lundgren, partners in the police department's Violent Crimes Bureau in industrial, blue-collar Rockford, Illinois. The two detectives are faced with tracking down a monster unlike any they have encountered before. The clean, seemingly emotionless kills leave MC and Kitt little but the growing string of victims to follow--all young adults, clean cut, kid-next-door types who've never taken a step outside the law. And this time around, it's personal for MC: The first victim is her cousin Tommy Mariano, oldest son of her favorite aunt. As MC and Kitt hunt a faceless killer, they are led deep into the cyberuniverse, where no one is who they seem and you never know who's watching. At the heart of this fast-paced thriller is the relationship between the two headstrong women, their struggle to balance their dual roles, to learn to trust, and to walk the fine line between upholding the law--and taking it into their own hands as they race to find a murderer.

— Amy, 2/4/2014 -
" think I read this before, but couldn't quite remember as I read a lot. but halfway through the book I just knew who the culprit was and therefore I must have read it before. I still really enjoyed it and can recommend it. "

" The second book in the Kitt Lundgren series did not let me down. I absolutely love the characters in these novels. new favourite police detective series. "
— Katie, 1/18/2014 -
" Typical mediocre thriller. Not quite dark enough or gritty enough for my taste. A bit simple, leaving out a lot of details you find in other police procedural books. But not bad for a beach read. "
— Julie, 11/30/2013 -

" New author for me. I enjoyed the book. "
— Teri, 12/2/2012 -
" Not my favorite by this author. MC's character was very well developed, by also unrealistic at times. The book was slower moving than usual, and things were left unresolved. It was a quick, easy read. "
— Lisa, 8/16/2012 -
" Started out slow, but it got very interesting. Worth reading. "
— Clara, 5/15/2012 -
" It was great, Spindler is one of my favorite crime writers! Quick easy read full of witty characters. The crux, I wasn't terribly surprised by who ended being the "bad guy" I was just off a tad. But I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crime novels. "
— Meghan, 4/25/2012 -
" I enjoyed the story lines and plot. I guessed some of it before it happened in the story. Overall I'd read it again. Felt bad for the main character, I don't know that I'd handle it that well. Guess that's why they call it fiction. "
— Traci, 4/23/2012 -
" Excellent! I am going to read more of her books. "
— Lindy, 3/27/2012 -
" It was interesting but had a few too may characters to keep track off. I wasn't impressed with the ending either. I will give it an OK. :) "
— Marie, 2/14/2012 -

" Another book my wife read last year, that I thought I'd give a go. <br/>Hmmm........didn't feel that I'd totally wasted a couple of days out of my life, that I won't ever get back, but neither did I really care about what happened either, <br/>I wouldn't rush to read another by her "

— Misty, 12/28/2010 -
" COMPELLING! I could not put this book down. I like to pretend sometimes that I am a detective or something in that area, and pretend that im a good one. HA. Everytime I thought I had figured it out Erica Spindler threw something new in their. "
— Katie, 10/10/2010 -
" Not my favorite by this author. MC's character was very well developed, by also unrealistic at times. The book was slower moving than usual, and things were left unresolved. It was a quick, easy read. "
— Lisa, 10/5/2010 -
" I liked the characters, and do plan to read more of the series based on other reviews I have read. I found the plot to be rather predictable, and less than believable. "
— Jeannie, 9/2/2010 -
" I only just liked this thriller as I found a bit of the plot predictable. I got frustrated with MC taking matters into her own hands and not including Kit ‘for her own good’ and Kit accepting this behavior. It made the plot twists too easy. "
— Swanbender2001, 7/16/2010 -
" Just your average suspense/mystery book. "
