Publisher Description

Truit Hickman is a small-time crook doing life in California's notoriously brutal Corcoran State Prison for the murder of his mother. He admitted to the crime, but now Hickman claims his confession was coerced by the cops. A beautiful Internal Affairs detective, Secada Scout Llevar, asks Shane Scully to help investigate, and he agrees after learning the original homicide detective was Brian Devine, a ruthless cop with whom Scully has a bad history.

What begins as a routine review quickly turns into something much more deadly. The case is abruptly shut down by an LAPD deputy chief, and Shane begins to suspect that, for unknown reasons, Hickman really may have been framed by the police. But some things, once started, cannot be stopped, and the investigation spirals dangerously out of control, implicating a violent Hispanic gang, a millionaire power broker, and the front-runner in the Los Angeles mayoral race.

Meanwhile, Shane and Alexa struggle to save their marriage, which has come perilously close to disintegration since Alexa's near-fatal shooting in White Sister - just as Shane finds himself attracted to his new partner. Could the answer to their marital troubles be tied to the case he's investigating?

In Cannell's heart-pounding thriller, Shane is tried in ways he has never been, risking his family, his job, and his life.

""Rebel police guys who always do the right thing even if it gets them in trouble, but they always win in the end" books aren't my usual thing, Connolly's "Harry Bosch" books notwithstanding, but this was a good one. Interesting and unique plot pertaining to the crimes and the group of people involved. Good element of his relationship with his wife, and another investigator, too."

    " I stayed up late to finish this. The Shane Scully mysteries are action packed fun reads. Cannell does a great job of plot and character development. As a former resident of LA I often recognize areas he describes. His ability to bring you into the action taking place only adds to the drama. "

    " Predictable mass-market mystery detective novel. The suspense and "whodunit" kept me reading, and then I had to know how they'd get the "bad guys". Not one I'd recommend, and definitely not one I'd keep on my shelf, but an enjoyable mindless time waster. "

    " Informative and entertaining, this Shane Scully mystery was a nice change of pace with Shane's wife, Alexa, in the role of risk-taker (a role usually attributed to Scully). Well-plotted in typical Cannell fashion, but there was just something missing. "
