Had an unexpected ending. Was a hard but a compulsive read. The characters showed great growth throughout the book. The storyline was tidy and easy to follow for the most part. Well written.

They thought they were above the law-she was going to prove them wrong.
A terrifying childhood abduction has left California copy Rachel Simmons with a burning desire to see the law upheld.

Now Rachel has violated the most sacred law within their ranks--the blue code of silence.
But it isn't until she is framed for attempted murder and the lives of her children are threatened that she realizes she can trust no one - not even the ambitious D.A. who seems to offer her a way out.
For Rachel Simmons, justice has become the most dangerous ideal of all...

WOW. WHAT A SURPRISE ENDING!
I read this book from start to finish in one day. I stayed up late to finish this page-turner. This is a stand-alone novel and in my opinion the best novel I've read by Rosenberg. The novel revolves around a single mother that becomes a police officer in order to provide for her children. She is placed on the lightly-manned night shift with a rogue cop and his clique of officers.
A good read that is rated a solid 4 on both PaperBackSwap and GoodReads.

Because there was no "suspense" in this story, there were times that I felt it read a little slow. The storyline seemed obvious, but it was still written well enough that I wanted to keep reading and see exactly HOW the good guy(s) would win.
And then, there was the ending...and it was totally unexpected and caused me to put the book down and process it. For as obviously as the storyline was, the ending made me realize that I was glad I kept reading!
