Laurie is a dispatcher with the San Bernal PD. She is working one night and gets a call from her daughter, JoJo, and knows that her daughter is in dire trouble. Laurie immediately gets to work to try to find her daughter, involving her husband, who is the chief of police.
When they get to the scene, JoJo has been raped and there is a murder victim found in the bathroom. Kevin, a pro football player, is at the scene (in his own home) and is arrested for both crimes.
There is a person missing, though. That is Harper, JoJo's best friend. This becomes a search for that missing girl.
This is not usually my type of genre, but there were many twists and turns to the story that made it
quite interesting.

There is a lot going on in this book---too much!,
police brutality, activism, racism, rape, murder, mental health, LGBTQ rights----WOW---just too much!
By the middle of the book I felt it was falling apart, it took forever to get to the middle of the book with a lot of repeat repeat repeat and it doesn't really move the story along at a good pace.
I didn't really care for the main family, Laurie is a 9-1-1 dispatcher that used to be a cop and she is married to the chief of police so she gets special privileges? doubt it--then you have daughter JoJo that starts out as the main focus but yet she also can get into places within the police precient that off limits for anyone else? doubt it
When it took the turn into all the secrets of the police department I kind of lost a little interest and started skimming to move along at a faster pace to get to the main focus of the story---AGAIN--seems like I had to do that a lot
I think Herron can write a good book but yet in this one she just had too much WAY TOO MUCH going on.
