"First-rate...Compton scores big." - Library Journal (starred review)Still struggling with the aftermath of the case that almost ended her career, Detective Sarah Pribek keeps her demons at bay by doing what she does best. Juggling two very different cases - a young man missing from a deeply troubled family, an unlicensed doctor practicing in the city's projects - Sarah has everything at stake. Caught up in a cat-and-mouse game with the investigator who wants to destroy her, drawn deeper and deeper into a family's tangled history, Sarah knows that a misstep on her part will end not only in her disgrace, but in the death of one of those she has promised herself she will protect...."Fans of the sinuous, character-driven puzzlers of Minette Walters, Ruth Rendell, or Thomas H. Cook will find Compton a promising new voice in psychological suspense." - Booklist "[A] multilayered, touching tale of crimes and misdemeanors." - Publishers Weekly
