Always a thrill to receive a positive review:
Detective Denise Aragon is on the force in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her
recent job involves outsmarting corrupt lawyers and judges in order to
stop a celebrity artist named Cody Geronimo, who just so happens to kill
people to use for his “art.” His latest victim is Linda Fager, wife of
cold and calculating criminal attorney, Walter Fager. But for the very
first time, it seems that Walter wants the police to succeed, and bring
down the sick artist before he can hurt anyone else. Unfortunately,
Marcy Thornton, Walter’s former protégé, is defending the killer with a
passion.
Most of the police force know that Cody took his
celebrity to new horrors. In fact, everyone sitting in court knows that
on the night of the murder Cody called his attorney to actually inform
her about what he’d done. This phone call is what Detective Aragon
playsin court. Sadly, the judge rules that Aragon eavesdropping on a
confidential call between attorney and client is illegal. Hence, the
murderer runs free and Aragon is suspended.
As Aragon tries to keep her case afloat, Cody
trespasses on private property and remains a vicious man. But Aragon
will never quit as she deals with the subject of American Indian tribes,
their property lines, as well as the social conflicts that crop up when
dealing with the law.
A thrilling police story, this gives the real mystery
buff a lot to absorb. A major look at justice in all its colors, this
incredible author gives us good guys and bad guys and, cross your
fingers, it might just be the start of a new series.
