Scandals are rocking the D.C. Police Department. Chief Farnsworth is facing heat for his decisions during their last big case which led to a kidnapping and shoot out. Meanwhile, Detective Gonzales' custody fight for his son has gone public. Things go from bad to worse when the baby's mother is found murdered and evidence is pointing toward Gonzo. Lt. Sam Holland must work to help both Farnsworth and Gonzo clear their names.
On the home front, Sam's husband Nick is ready to start his new job as Vice President of the United States. They are also working on adopting thirteen-year-old Scotty, but that may have hit a snag.
This is the 8th book in the series and it's still going strong. The investigation was fast paced and never let up. Most of the supporting characters were in this book. Many relationships advanced in this story. There was so much going on, I fear that the author will run out of storylines. On the other hand, I do not like that Nick is now the VP. It's just so far out in left field, I have a hard time wrapping my brain around it. That, and the fact that Sam doesn't have to have a security detail, makes me adjust my rating of what could have been a 5-Star book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
