After being set up for a crime and spending two years in prison, Mace Perry is determined to prove herself and get her badge back. Her sister, Police Chief Beth Perry, believes in Mace, but also knows that it will be nearly impossible to get back on the force. When Mace accompanies Beth to the scene of a murder, Mace decides she will solve this case. Lawyer Roy Kingman found Diane Tolliver stuffed into a refrigerator at the law firm where they both worked. Mace and Kingman decide to work together to find out who killed Diane Tolliver.
This standalone David Baldacci title was just "ok" for me. I wasn't a big fan of Mace who doesn't know what she will do if she isn't a cop. Meanwhile she breaks all sorts of laws to solve a murder. I thought the whole "I'm going to solve a big case so I can get my badge back" was just absurd. Maybe if Mace had worked to clear her name, it would have worked better.
I did enjoy other characters in the book, especially Roy Kingman. He wants to solve the murder also. He also decides to take a Pro-Bono case of the homeless man accused of Diane's murder. His bosses are not happy about it, but he continues with his defense.
I listened to the audiobook version of this story. Ron McLarty did a good job with the narration. And, I loved the addition of revving engines and squealing tires during the car chase. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
