Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red presents a spine-tingling story of murder and betrayal in high society Savannah, where a homicide detective finds his career—and life—on the line.

When Savannah detective Duncan Hatcher is summoned to an unusual crime scene, he knows discretion is key. Influential Judge Cato Laird's beloved trophy wife, Elise, has fatally shot a burglar. She claims self-defense, but Duncan suspects she's lying, and puts his career in jeopardy by investigating further. Then, in secret, Elise makes an incredible allegation, which he dismisses as the lie of a cunning woman trying to exploit his intense attraction to her. But when Elise goes missing, Duncan finds that trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death for both of them.

"I thought this book was pretty good. My daughter and I picked it up because the cover is TOTALLY cool (you cannot get the full effect from the picture here). I am a sucker for covers, and the hard back was on sale for like $5 or something. So, anyway I told my daughter I had to read it first and it's a good thing, because it is not age appropriate for her (due to sex and language). However, it was an enjoyable easy read."

    " i am reading bestsellers for work. i really did not like this book. i will even be childish and call it stupid! that's how i feel about it. there are some books that are bestsellers because they are actually good and then there are some books that are bestsellers because a long time ago maybe the author once wrote a good book. this is definitely the latter in my opinion.

    " Always enjoy Sandra Brown's books. This is about a woman who is married to a judge that kills an intruder. She says it was self-defense but the detective doesn't believe her. Many twists and turns and just fun to read. "

    " What a great book. The characters were well developed and I really got in to it. It's was very interesting to see the story through the lead detective's eyes and the end had so many twists and turns that it really got exciting! It's nothing too in depth or profound, but definitely a fun summer read that I kept thinking about long after I had gotten out of the car (audio book for me). "

    " I did read the book and enjoyed the easy read that it was. I do not quite understand the intense appeal that this author has as the stories are good but that is about it. A surprise ending it was but getting there was sometimes trying. "

    " I had to read this book for a couple of reasons...1. my mom bought it for me and it would be just plain rude not to, 2. Since it's set in my hometown and I used to work at SPD I couldn't resist. I have to say, it didn't let me down. Really great read and it kept me guessing the whole time. "

    " This was a little better than I expected, but certainly wasn't the mystery thriller of the century. I read it because it will soon be a made-for-tv movie on TNT. I thought that it would be fun to read it and then watch it. "
