Publisher Description
To support her small daughter, April Ortiz does what she has to do—which means waiting tables in a skimpy outfit at a popular nightclub in Chula Vista. When one of her co-workers is murdered, April does what she knows she shouldn’t—she defies the neighborhood code by talking to the police about a dangerous suspect.
Clean-cut cop Noah Young wants a shot at breaking this case more than anything in the world—that is, until he meets April. A spark ignites between them, threatening his job and her peace of mind. As the heat intensifies, the two are dragged down further into the dark mysteries of the graffiti-lined streets, taunted by a crazed killer who could strike again at any time.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Police officer Noah Young handles gang-related crime in Chula Vista, Calif. (just across the border from Tijuana), and dreams of being a homicide investigator. His chance comes with the rape and murder of a young cocktail waitress. Noah knows he shouldn't get involved with someone associated with the case, but he falls hard for April Ortiz, a single mom who worked with the victim. Carnal scenes that wouldn't be out of place in Penthouse Forum litter the pages as the chase harkens back to an eight-year-old cold case and draws in Noah's na ve sister. Sorenson paints the graffiti-lined streets and the gang scene with broad strokes, and makes her characters realistic, flawed, and appealing. Deftly handled violent action and red herrings rush this thriller to a believable ending.
