FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE #1 BESTSELLER
CHILL FACTOR New York Times
bestselling author Sandra Brown is back with a spine-tingling story of
murder and betrayal -- and a homicide detective's struggle with his own
rules of conduct.
When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is
summoned to the home of Judge Cato Laird in the middle of the night to
investigate a fatal shooting, he knows that discretion and kid-glove
treatment are the key to staying in the judge's good graces and keeping
his job.
At first glance, the case appears open-and-shut: Elise,
the judge's trophy wife, interrupted a burglary in progress and killed
the intruder in self-defense. But Duncan is immediately suspicious of
Elise's innocent act. And further investigation quickly puts Duncan's
career in jeopardy -- because he can't deny his increasing attraction
to Elisa Laird, even if she is a married woman, a proven liar, and a
murder suspect.
Ricochet's plot twists -- as only Sandra
Brown can write them -- make this a gripping thriller, in which a
decent cop's worst enemy may be his own conscience...and trusting the
wrong person could mean the difference between life and death.
