Mary Catherine MC Riggio and Kitt Lundgren, detective partners at the Rockford Violent Crimes Bureau, have been through a lot together. Lately, though, things have begun to look up: MC is about to get married, while Kitt is slowly coming to terms with the loss of her daughter.
Suddenly, the fragile peace of their world is shattered when a brutal murder strikes close to home for MC. Nothing will be the same again. A killer is on the loose, someone who quickly and systematically works his way down a seemingly unconnected list of victims. With the body count rising, MC realises that she has to keep her head in the game and use her grief to fuel the hunt, but as the madman draws ever closer, Kitt and MC begin to struggle to walk that fine line between protecting the law - and taking it into their own hands . . .Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Erica Spindler had originally planned on being an artist. But she started writing romance in 1982 and progressed to crime fiction in 1986, where she found her true calling. She has won several awards for her fiction in the US. Erica lives just outside New Orleans with her husband and two sons.
