Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Nate knelt beside the dead girl. This wasn't his first homicide, it wasn't even the first dead prostitute he'd investigated. It wasn't the first strangling death he'd been assigned to. But this one bothered him. Maybe it was her youth; she appeared to be in her early twenties. Maybe it was her looks, as death had yet to rob her of her beauty. Maybe she reminded him of his own daughter, Lizzie, who was only a few years younger. Maybe it was something else entirely.

Nice Short Prequel to a Blockbuster Series
I am presuming you have read at least the first two Crosswhite novels. If nothing else, this reveals the beginning of the rivalry between Crosswhite and her commanding officer. I have finished the first three novels of this series and rated each of them with 5 stars. I just finished Her Final Breath for the second time.
Should you buy this short story? It is good, but certainly not neccessary. I bought it because I love the series.

wanted more
This short story would make a really good full length book. It is my #1complaint about most short stories.....it is only the first couple chapters of a good book, not a complete story.

Loved It
Wish it was longer though, or maybe a few more installments of life as a rookie before becoming a detective. Please...This was a fun read to see the backstory to nasty Lonasko and Tracy kicking a$$!!

Enjoyed the short story and characters
The scenarios in this police academy story is not unlike the experience of military women in a man’s world. Having experienced that during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s of the past century I can vouch for the harassment and pressures that are a part of every day life. Look forward to reading more about this police officer. Great narration.

Entertaining short story
This short story was fun enough that I wish that a novel was to follow!The protagonist is a brilliant, fearless, strong woman with some skeletons in her closet. The sexist cops at the police academy have met their match. This is a fun hour of entertainment.

Too short!
It was great to get the backstory of Tracy Crosswhite after reading Her Sister’s Grave. However, it went by way too fast! I do think I’m hooked on the series now and looking forward to the next one!

I had already read a few books in this story so going back and reading/hearing the beginning was enjoyable. The Crosswhite series is enjoyable.
