Publisher's summary

When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up in bed with the handsome and hard-partying Jay Burgess, a rising star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there...or of how Jay wound up dead.

Five years earlier, Jay was a hero of a disastrous fire at Charleston's police headquarters, which would have been even deadlier if not for the bravery of Jay and three other city officials who led others to safety.

Firefighter Raley Gannon, Jay's lifelong friend, had been assigned to investigate the fire, but the investigation ended in a scandal that shattered Raley's world, and forced him to surrender the woman he loved and the work to which he'd dedicated his life. For five years his resentment has festered, but he was helpless to set things right. That changes when he learns of Jay's shocking death.

As suspicion against Britt Shelley mounts, Raley realizes that the newswoman might be his only chance to get personal vindication - and justice for the seven victims of the police station fire. But there are powerful men who don't want to address unanswered questions about the fire, and will go to any lengths to protect their reputations.

As Raley and Britt discover more about what happened that fateful day, they realize that they're not only chasing after the truth but running for their lives.

Smoke Screen is Sandra Brown's most intense novel yet.

review

Sandra At Her Best!

Loved the story and the suspense over the top!!! Victor Sleizak was excellent. Can't wait for next book woo hoo

Great book

Awesome awesome book. A definite must read. It will be hard to stop reading or listening to it

Liked it except…

Enjoyed the mystery even though by the end I figured it out, but they way they wrapped it up was good. Could definitely done without all the explicit sex. Suffice it to say I GET IT. Just an short explanation and leave it to the imagination please. I thought the narrator did a good job with all of the voices. Let’s just say the book kept me coming back to find out what was going to
happen next.

The ending got me!!

Loved the storyline of the whole story. I really liked this book and really like Slezak as the narrator!

Good book

It was a good book. It seemed a little bit too long for me.

Excellent.

Great story line well told. This author always has surprises around each corner with authenticity.

"Yeah, maybe I like you a little"

Where does Smoke Screen rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This one smokes! I re purchased through audible as it is ez on I pod. I have listened to this one many times. Full version of White Hot is about the only one better. Audible, thanks for getting the full Victor Slezak read version. Fans are missing out if you don’t try it. You got Envy and Hello Darkness, White Hot beats both of those books.

What other book might you compare Smoke Screen to and why?
Lethal, same hunky character which Victor makes yummy

Have you listened to any of Victor Slezak’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have all of his SB performances...he is more $$$ but no one does SB characters better!
He makes all the heros "sexy as all get out" none better.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I do listen to all of SB books read by Victor in one sitting. Hence, I have to re listen another time to catch all the clues given by SB to figure out the who done character.

Any additional comments?
if you are a SB fan, this is one you must not miss. I buy all of SB Books read byVictor Slezak. None will disappoint read by him. Rainwater will break your heart

Excellent Story
