reviewed on + 711 more book reviews


It was a crime so brutal, it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl's prior criminal record is inadmissible raises public outcry---and puts the judge in grave danger. Then the judge gets attacked in the parking garage. Karl Dahl escapes from the hospital and everything get out of control. Suspects include the stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life and a cop looking for revenge where the justice system failed (Judge Carey gets kidnapped). With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem and everyone is guilty of Prior Bad Acts.
