Ann Silver is a cop's cop. As the Midwest Homicide
Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of
cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region's most trusted
investigative positions.
Paul Falcon is the FBI's top murder cop in the Midwest. If
the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good
Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder.
Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off
her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a
hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn't expecting to meet someone, the kind
that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention.
The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her
job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and
U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former
vice president. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into
their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping,
until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just
who this lady he is falling in love with really is....
I have to say I enjoyed this book. It made me think and the story kept me interested. I didn't figure out the "whodunit's" in the book which I always think is a good thing, though on the downside it was a bit of an anti-climax when everything came to a head at the end. The ending wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be.
As lead characters Paul and Ann are a bit too good to be true, but are well matched for one another. The book is a bit long at 473 pages, so it's not a read in a couple of days type of book!!!
Stars out of 5: 4.5 just wished the ending was better, but overall a great book with lots of action to keep you interested.
