About this title

Book Description:

The second high-octane thriller in the Lena Gambler series from the bestselling author of City of Fire

From the Back Cover:

“Scorching.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Los Angeles Police Detective Lena Gamble is held in disgrace by department higher-ups for the explosive way the infamous Romeo case played out, even though she’s still hailed as a hero by her colleagues for catching the killer. As punishment, she hasn’t been allowed to handle a real murder investigation since. Until finally, after eight months, the chief tosses her a case...

“Gripping.”
—Toronto Sun

But when Lena gets a look at the scene, she can’t help but wonder whether she’s being set up to be exiled once and for all: The victim is unidentified. There are no witnesses. And there are no leads. Just a body, chopped into pieces and dropped in a Dumpster—gruesome enough to ensure that, once again, the media will be following Lena’s every move...

“Riveting and relentless.”
—Booklist (starred review)
