A few hours before sunrise, the head of the Minneapolis city council is killed in a park, and the forensic traces point to someone she knew. Detective Lincoln Barnes and her thoughtful colleague Warren focus on the magnetic mayor and on the chief aide who worked closest to the victim.
Barnes is pulled off balance by her own life. A brief romance with a judge becomes an obsession once she learns disturbing things about his history. Just as she and Warren draw closer to the killer, she starts to doubt whether she can keep working as a Minneapolis cop, and whether a future with a man who could be either a blessing or something far worse is worth chasing.
Readers who like urban crime stories with a strong central character will find this one focused on relationships as much as on the case. Edition note: published by Little Creek Pr in 2002, 224 pages, ISBN-13: 9781955656344.
