When the FBI is called out on a high-profile murder, Lucy Kincaid tags along as an analyst. The body of Wendy James, a high-priced call girl, was found on a jogging path. She was in the news last week when pictures of her and Congressman Alan Crowley were leaked to the press. As Lucy and FBI Agent Noah Armstrong work the case, they are asked to assist the D.C. Police with their investigation on the murder of a prostitute. Lucy sees ties between the cases, believing that both cases may have the same killer.

This book took me a while to get into. There were many characters to sort out. By the time we got to the second murder, my interest was piqued. There was so much going on, especially with a group of prostitutes on the run from two killers who have targeted them. When more hookers are picked off, Lucy realizes that she needs to talk to the one girl who is trying to hold the group safely together.

While the mystery pulled me into the story, the behavior of some of the regular cast in this series, Lucy, Noah, and her boyfriend Sean Rogan, annoyed me. Lucy once again has issues with her past rape. Noah doesn't explain exactly what he wants out of Lucy and is mad when she oversteps. Sean is jealous of Noah for no good reason. I like seeing the characters grow throughout the series, but some of this is getting stale. My rating: 4 Stars.
