Detective Sarah Burke is called out to a mass shooting in a quiet residential street. It’s a bloody mess and the walls are riddled with bullet holes. It looks like a home invasion gone very wrong. But it’s nothing she can’t handle.

That’s until one of the ‘dead’ bodies wakes up. At least now Sarah has a suspect.

But on the way to the hospital he attacks his police escort and escapes. Sarah’s back to square one. Only now with a violent potential killer on the loose.

Sarah Burke has a real mystery on her hands. And she’d better solve it before Tucson, Arizona sees any more carnage.

An absolutely compelling detective mystery perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Gregg Olsen, Rita Herron, Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller, J.A. Jance, Mary Burton, Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliott, Robert Dugoni and Isabella Maldonado.

Gunn pulls it all together in a satisfying fashion that should entice readers to seek earlier titles in the series.” Publishers Weekly

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Seasoned thirty-five-year-old Sarah Burke replaced her youthful bloom with burnished fitness and a put-together look that said to her friends, ‘Trust me,’ and to the bad guys, ‘Don’t even think about it.’ Occasionally some fool thought about it anyway, and for those times she wears a Glock nine in a paddle holster on her belt. Thirteen years in the department had fixed her attitude — wary and seldom surprised. She had transferred into Homicide a little over a year ago because she was ready for bigger challenges. More ambitious than ever now that she’s single again, Sarah wants to work with the best people, hone her skills, keep moving up.

THE SETTING
Tucson, Arizona, eighty miles from the Mexican border, is a city with ancient roots and a panoply of modern problems. Sprawled in a beautiful valley in the Southwest, Tucson struggles with border issues, shrinking water resources, and a booming drug trade, but its prosperity relies on the steady flow of tourists and retirees attracted to its wonderful weather, where, as the locals say, it’s ‘too hot to spit’.
