Christa P. (romeo) reviewed on 11/29/2006 + 334 more book reviews

A beautiful young woman is dead in the bathroom of her home. Her husband-a promising young cop named Archie Wildcraft-is shot in the head, but still alive. It looks like a murder/suicide, but something tells Detective Merci Rayborn there's more to the story. When the suspect vanishes from his hospital bed, he draws Merci into a manhunt that leaves the entire department questioning her abilities and her judgement. Is Archie's flight the act of a ruined mind, or a faithful heart? Is his account of the night his wife was murdered half-formed memory, or careful manipulation? Merci and Wildcraft head for a collision in a dizzying succession of cryptic clues, dangerous secrets, and painful truths.
