Sorry. The single word is created on a reflection. Before it hangs a Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky work turned tragic? Either way, it wasn’t murder. At least not according to the powers that end up being. But experienced homicide detective Sam Kovac and his wisecracking, ambitious partner, Nikki Liska, believe differently. Together they begin to dig in the too-neat sides of the youthful cop’s death, uncovering one motive-and one suspect-after another. The cloud of suspicion falls not only for the city’s top notch, but over the very heart of the authorities department. Someone wants the situation closed-quickly and forever. But even with their professions and their lives at risk, neither Kovac nor Liska gives up. As they unearth a link between a two-month-old murder case and one which has been closed for two decades, they find themselves going after a killer who’ll stop at nothing to keep a dark and shattering key. “Tami Hoag is the queen from the crime tale.” -New York Post
