Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestsellng author of Seeing Red comes a "scorching...action-filled" (Publishers Weekly) tale of corruption and betrayal, revenge, and reversal.
When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up to find herself in bed with Jay Burgess, a star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there—or how Jay wound up dead. Handsome, hard-partying Jay was one of four heroic city officials who risked their lives five years earlier to lead others to safety from a catastrophic fire. His lifelong friend, Raley Gannon, was later assigned to investigate the blaze. But Raley never finished the inquiry because one calamitous night his career was destroyed by scandal. Now, the newswoman whose biased reporting helped bring about Raley's downfall might be his only chance to vindicate himself and get justice for the fire's victims. But the more Raley and Britt discover about that fateful day, the more perilous the situation becomes, until they're not only chasing the truth but running for their lives.

"All you need to do is to see Sandra Brown's name on a book and you know that you are going to enjoy it, and this book doesn't disappoint. It was hard to put down, and oh so easy to pick up again. I already have her latest book, "Tough Customer" on order and am looking forward to receiving it."

" Decent thriller. Kept my interest throughout. Romance stuff a little harlequin novel like. "
— Patty, 2/11/2014 -
" Great suspense novel...the author always keeps you wondering what will happen next. Not sure I'm crazy about all the "sexual details" described in her books, but the general plots are very good. "
— Jill, 1/26/2014 -
" Again another excellent who-dunnit story. Although, this one had a LOT of monologues in it where people confessed or explained what happened. I ended up skimming through a lot of the end of the story. "
— Jen, 1/25/2014 -
" I did not want to put this book down. There was a real twist that had me gasping in shock out loud. I just could not believe what had happened. This is a definite must read. "
— Jennifer, 1/25/2014 -
" The best Sandra Brown book I've read thus far! "
— Jess, 1/22/2014 -
" My first beach read of the Indonesia summer trip. I even took it on the plane. This one was not my favorite of hers. Too much running around being chased for my taste. "
— Mona, 1/22/2014 -
" I liked the story. However, I think it took the author too many words to accomplish it. I feel there is often too much explanation for everything from the characters' actions and what they are thinking. The plot was a bit predictable, I had the villain pegged early on. "
— Shawn, 1/14/2014 -
" This was a pretty good book except for one major problem. All the deaths and destruction was a result of something that really shouldn't have been that big of a deal. ! "
— Peggy, 1/14/2014 -
" The ending was great! My mind went there for a minute but dismissed it! Ha! Another great book! "
— Rose, 1/11/2014 -
" I couldn't put this book down...loved it. "
— Amie, 12/29/2013 -
" Maybe not her best work, but I still really enjoyed it. Also, it was a nice quick read for the Thanksgiving weekend. "
— Mary, 12/27/2013 -
" I just finished the last page and truthfully it keeps you guessing until the last few chapters. "
— Kelly, 12/24/2013 -
" Very good! Keeps you guessing! I always make a prediction after all the main characters are introduced and always enjoy being wrong more than right. It was my first Sandra Brown book, but not my last. "
— Rachelle, 12/16/2013 -
" Not sure why I continue to read Sandra Brown - I am always disappointed. Fairly promising mystery but it just got bogged down in too many words...should have only been a 100 page book! "
— Kristin, 12/4/2013 -
" While it was an entertaining story, I had a big problem with the timeline of the story and backstory. I was also bothered that Raley would go to such extremes to help Britt when Britt was the person who ruined his life several years earlier. "
— Steve, 11/27/2013 -
" A very intriguing mystery filled with arson, cover-ups, murder, and a bit of romance! A fun and suspenseful read! "
— Lindsey, 10/25/2013 -
" This was such a great book it was made into a movie.....!! "

— Jill, 4/25/2013 -
" Very fast paced book. Suspense and love all in one! "
— Joanie, 3/21/2013 -
" Great Plot. Sandra Brown is always a good sexy read. Dirty cops, bad fire, master cover up brings a fireman and TV reporter together. Bodies everywhere with a surprise twist at the end. "
— Marianne, 1/19/2013 -
" Typical Sandra Brown light read. Wish she would leave the detailed sex out, but guess that is what sells the books. She usually has a good plot. "
— Donna, 1/14/2013 -
" Too bad, I didn't enjoy reading this book. It is far below my expectation. "
— Eky, 10/28/2012 -
" Took me almost to the end to figure who REALLY was behind everything. Had my suspicions but .... good read. "
— Deb, 7/11/2012 -
" Quick read for the beach or pool! "
— Cindy, 6/23/2012 -
" Love this author, I don't think she's capable of writing a bad one. Worth reading although I didn't enjoy it as much as some of her others, but good story. "
— Kristie, 3/4/2012 -
" Finished this book in a day and a half, really liked it!<br/> "
— Sue, 5/23/2011 -
" The unraveling of a mysterious fire in a police station is tightly scripted and fast paced, but there's a lot more sex of the raunchy, nasty variety here than I would prefer. "
— Elizabeth, 4/30/2011 -
" A very good story it was pretty much what you would expect from Sandra Brown. I did not think there was much of a mystery here though it was entertaining. "
— Steve, 4/25/2011 -
" Kept you guessing till the end...a good thing in a suspense novel. "
— Ida, 4/11/2011 -
" I did this as an audiobook. It was a good listen while sitting in traffic. "
— Anne, 4/7/2011 -
" Although somewhat formulaic (and despite figuring out the "who"), there was redemption in the end. The twists and turns involving the "why" and "how" kept my interest. "
— Linda, 3/24/2011 -
" This was a really good story that really kept my interest. Liked the plot line. "
— Jill, 3/22/2011 -

— Teresa, 3/7/2011 -
" Another Sandra Brown book I read before. And another Sandra Brown book that was just as good the second time around. Thank goodness for GoodReads so I don't read it a third time. lol So many books, so little time :) "
