Detective Anjelica Henley confronts a series of ritualistic murders in this heart-pounding thriller about race, power and the corrupt institutions that threaten us

With a revolving list of suspects and the media spotlight firmly on her, Henley is left with more questions than answers as she attempts to untangle both crimes. But when another body appears, the case takes on a new urgency. Unless she can apprehend the killer, the next victim may just be Henley herself.

Drawing on her experiences as a criminal attorney, Nadine Matheson deftly explores issues of race, class and justice through an action-packed story that will hold you captive until the last terrifying page.

So good. Characters you connect with, a page turning story that keeps you reading…just one more page. I think I have a new favorite author!!
I began this novel last night and finished it within 24 hours, a good sign for any page-turner or thriller. While this story was not as cerebral or jarring as Matheson's "Jigsaw Man" it was well-written and captivating and I do enjoy the author's central characters. Moreover, I am a sucker for some gritty and raw character development, and this read does not disappoint to satisfy in this regard.
