Resumen del Editor

Amid a sultry Atlanta summer, someone is targeting police. The investigation becomes personal for APD Detective Ryan Winter when a colleague and friend is shot dead - the second victim in weeks. But even as he finds himself being drawn into the tense hunt for a serial cop killer, he is forced to reexamine his own shattering personal tragedy.

An ER physician at Atlanta's busy Mercy Hospital, Dr. Lydia Costa is no stranger to suffering. Still, the recent police slayings reopen barely healed wounds - and bring her face to face with her ex-husband, Ryan Winter. As the body count rises and paranoia tightens its grip on the police force, Lydia and Ryan are pulled together by circumstances and fate, causing old passions to reignite despite their painful shared past. But as Ryan moves closer to discovering the killer's identity, someone is watching, placing both him and Lydia in mortal danger.

Both Thriller and Love Story

This book begins with a violent shooting if a cop. It has a lot of mis directs with Lydia the doctor. She is frustrating initially with her hidden feelings. Then other cops die, while a wife beater is stalking Lydia and his wife. Ryan the lead detective on the cop killer case and Lydia's ex is the hero. He interacts with all parties. However not fast enough before the killer strikes several times and close to home. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Perfect Combo

A little romance, a little suspense and you’ve got me hooked! I was so surprised by the storyline, the plot twists and the performance. For a free audible book this hit every mark.

Nice surprise!

I enjoyed this one.
Well written & suspenseful, Leslie Tentler has written an intense mystery and suspense thriller with some romance sprinked in.
This was my first read of Leslie Tentler. I will definitely read her again. I listened to the audio version on audible. It was included free with membership.  The narration was top notch and helped the story come alive.
Although I guessed who the killer was pretty early on, the writing kept me wanting to find out how they would be caught.

Recommended!

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this story very much. I listened to the whole story in one sitting. I liked the twists in the plot and the romance wasn't in your face the entire time. The romance between the main characters was more believable than most stories.
