Publisher's summary

Discover New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Karen Rose’s brand-new series set in the sultry city of New Orleans and featuring a tough team of high-end private investigators who are after justice—no matter what they have to do to get it.

Good cops. Bad cops. Only one will win.

After completing her tours with the Marines in Iraq, Molly Sutton knew she could take down any bad guy she met. But when a family tragedy exposes the dark side of her local police, she joined up with her former CO Burke Broussard, who left New Orleans PD to set up a private investigative service for people who couldn’t find justice elsewhere.

Gabe Hebert saw the toll that working for the NOPD took on his dad and decided instead to make a name for himself as one of the best young chefs in the French Quarter. But when his father’s death is ruled a suicide after a deliberately botched investigation by his former captain, Gabe knows his dad stumbled onto a truth that someone wants silenced.

Gabe goes to his father’s best friend, Burke, for help. Burke assigns the toughest member of his team, Molly, to the case. Molly can’t believe she’s being asked to work with the smoking hot chef whose chocolate cake is not the only thing that makes her mouth water. Sparks fly as they follow the leads Gabe’s dad left them, unraveling a web of crimes, corruption, and murder that runs all the way to the top.

Critic reviews

"Karen Rose's amazing ability to blend fiercely smart suspense, compelling characters, sophisticated romance and a deep sense of place is nothing short of pure alchemy."—New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz

another good book by this author

I love this book.. I like the different layers of the story.. the only reason I didn't give it all five stars in performance is because of the New Orleans accent. Not the best 😕 😒

Total package

This was an enjoyable read. I dont know if the Louisiana accents were authentic but they added character to the listening experience. I enjoyed the many characters especially the main hero and heroine. They all had depth. The plot was good too. you were not really kept guessing about who the bad guys were as they were revealed pice but piece throughout the book with the final one at the end. But even that one was not much of a surprise. it was a long book but kept me entertained in a long drive. I recommend

Loved it

Couldn't put it down!!

I listened to this audio book and finished it in less than two days. It was so good I couldn't put it down. It was funny, sad, intriguing and nail biting at times. I loved it! Can't wait to see some of the characters again especially the older ladies 😁
