When a hometown girl is brutally murdered, Detective Scott Aylward vows to bring a killer to justice. His focus on the case further damages his failing marriage and reinforces the knowledge that he always fails those who matter most--his parents, his boss, his wife, but most of all the victims who expect him to bring them justice. His search for the killer takes him back to his roots and crosses his path with the missing piece of the puzzle. When the shocking truth is finally revealed, he finds himself unarmed and face to face with the killer. This time, failing might cost him his life.  Excerpt She started to rise from her chair, but Scott put a hand on her arm. A big hand, with long fingers she’d bet were gentle. In his other hand, he held a business card. “If you think of anyone who might have made a connection with her, anyone she might have refused to talk to, or dance with, give me a call.” Though she tried to avoid looking at him, his eyes caught her gaze and she couldn’t look away. He pressed the business card into her hand. “I really want to find her killer.” She glanced toward Harvey, almost to the table. “I hope you do,” she said softly. Harvey setting their plates on the table gave her a chance to escape. She walked as quickly as she could without running to the ladies room. She bent over to lean her forehead against the porcelain sink. She could almost hear her heartbeat echoing off the walls. What a joint this was. She should quit. But if she quit now, those cops might connect it with their questioning, and ask her more questions. She straightened up. Seconds. She had only seconds to compose herself before she would have to start working her side of the room. Thankfully, it was the side away from those cops. She pulled a lipstick from her pocket and applied it. Then she studied herself in the mirror. You look good, she thought. Classy and cool, but hot, like hot fudge on a sundae. The tips should be big tonight

Review
Katherine Pritchett know how to command the English language to keep her readers intrigued. This book was no exception. From page one I could not put it down. I am one who can tell you the ending by the end of the first chapter; not so with this story line. I was surprised. Katherine's mastery of weaving the story line with the characters is spell binding. Her attention to detail and location was spot on. From the moment I opened the book I could not put it down until the end. This is a must read and highly recommended.
