In this emotionally charged thriller, detective Merci Rayborn faces the challenge of a lifetime – a high-profile murder case that points to her lover as the main suspect. A riveting thriller taking on the central character from The Blue Hour. ‘Parker has only one rival – Thomas Harris’ – Washington Post
Two years after the death of Tim Hess, her partner and father of her child, Merci Rayborn, the Orange County homicide investigator introduced in Parker’s “insanely imaginative” (The New York Times Book Review) The Blue Hour, is back. Merci has finally pulled her life back together. She and her son are living with her father, a retired cop, and she is dating Mike McNally, a respected fellow officer. When a young prostitute is found murdered and Mike emerges as the primary suspect, Merci must do the unthinkable – expose and arrest her lover. With her world turned upside down, Merci must sift through the facts and balance where the truth leads her against where her heart is telling her to go. This taut, psychologically complex thriller brings Jefferson Parker and his daring heroine, Merci Rayborn, into the front ranks of this popular genre.

Merci doesn't want to believe that McNally is involved, but everything points to him. When she is forced to arrest him, everything she believes in comes in for a painful re-examination. And when her efforts to solve both killings lead inexorably back to where they started--to the department itself--she faces the most difficult challenge of all.
Parker is a masterful writer, with a sure command of the idiom, a fine sense of pacing and more emotional depth than many of his colleagues. Fans will applaud this outing, and new readers will seek out his extensive backlist. --Jane Adams, Amazon.com
