Miami, Drugs, Female rookie cop. Good & Gritty read
Helpful Score: 1
Ashley Montague, rookie cop and forensic artist, gets caught up in an investigation involving a Miami serial killer and abizarre cult Ashley passes by a traffic accident and learns later that the pedestrian victim is an old friend of hers. The police dismiss the case as just another junkie jumping into traffic, but Ashley isn't satisfied. She sketches the accident scene, puzzled by the details stuck in her photographic memory, such as a cloaked figure on the roadside. Meanwhile, detective Jake Dilessio is investigating the case of a female body found in the Everglades. Five years earlier, Jake put cult leader Peter Bordon, believed to have been behind Miami-area serial murders, in jail. But the new body bears the same marks of ritual murder as Bordon's victims. Is it a copycat crime? Or is the wrong man in prison? Or is Bordon's cult still up to no good? Jake has always believed that Bordon was involved in the road accident that killed his partner five years ago. Is her accident somehow related to that of Ashley's friend? Sparks fly between Ashley and Jake as they pursue their shared obsession with the criminal mastermind.

One of my FAVORITE authors...especially her paranormal stuff!
A prequel to The Island, this book provides laughs, tears and plenty of intrigue. A great read!

Detective Jake Dilessio's assigned to the case as it strongly mimics one he put a cult leader away for five years ago.

Don't like to give reviews. The book was very good and you won't be disappointed.

Can't beat this one
Excellent book
A REAL PAGE TURNER.
I received this book from another member and it was a fast read. I thought it was very interesting and it was only near the end that I figured it out. I thought it was a good mystery with a lot of interesting characters. The book is not new and has been well read but if you like Heather Graham you should read this one.
