Publisher Description

When prosecutor Vicki Allegretti arrives at a rowhouse to meet a confidential informant, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and is almost shot to death. She barely escapes with her life, but cannot save the two others gunned down before her disbelieving eyes. Stunned and heartbroken, Vicki tries to figure out how a routine meeting on a minor case became a double homicide.

Vicki's suspicions take her to Devil's Corner, a city neighborhood teetering on the brink of ruin -- thick with broken souls, innocent youth, and a scourge that preys on both. But the deeper Vicki probes, the more she becomes convinced that the murders weren't random and the killers were more ruthless than she thought.

When another murder thrusts Vicki together with an unlikely ally, she buckles up for a wild ride down a dangerous street -- and into the cross-hairs of a conspiracy as powerful as it is relentless.

"I enjoyed this mystery because of the characters. The story starts out trying to solve the murder of Vicki's friend and ends with her making an even better friend in Reehema, a suspect in one of her cases. The interaction between the two is sometimes humorous and keeps the story going. The book is worth a read."

    " This was a fairly typical mystery/suspense book. It was the first I've read from her actually. But I enjoyed it. Good characters & nice writing style. It was a "filler" book, not one I'd recommend as great literature, but hey not everything is great literature! "

    " There were times when the main character annoyed me with her refusal to take basic care of herself and her tendency to being TSTL at times. But, I hung in there and she began to annoy me less - not because I was accustomed to her behavior, but because she did finally act more sanely (but not totally sane). "
