In this third series installment (after A Deadly Business), prosecuting attorney Mia Quinn is trying a murder case in which the defendant, a well-known and respected businessman, claims the victim, a young Chinese immigrant forced into prostitution, assaulted him and then killed herself. When the perpetrator walks as a result of a hung jury, the victim's mother takes matters into her own hands to avenge her daughter's death. Meanwhile, more Chinese immigrants are found dead. Working together with homicide detective Charlie Carlson, Quinn must race against the clock before the murderer strikes again, this time much closer to home.
VERDICT Fans of J.D. Robb's Lt. Eve Dallas or The Closer's Brenda Leigh Johnson will appreciate strong female protagonist Quinn. In addressing the tough social issues of sex trafficking and domestic slavery in sometimes graphic detail, the best-selling coauthors combine skillfully multiple story lines with realistic characters and a palpable tension that keep the pages turning. The spiritual message is subtle: evil is everywhere, but where there is faith and people willing to fight for what is right, good will prevail.
