When FBI Special Agent Griffin "Decker" Davenport wakes after a week in a coma, he finds Special Agent Kate Coppola by this side. Decker has information that will help shut down a human trafficking ring and needs her help in passing it on. An attempt on his life tells them that someone doesn't want him talking. Kate, Decker, and a task force of FBI and local police set out to stop a child predator.

Now I remember why I haven't picked up a Karen Rose book lately. It took me 10 days to work my way through the 616-page (small print) book. This story could have been told in under 400 pages. The suspense story itself was very good. My problem was too many characters from the previous books in the series. One short chapter introduced 13 characters to the story. Approximately half of the characters in the story had some major problems from their past that they were attempting (many unsuccessfully) to overcome. There were also too many bloated scenes with unnecessary and inane details. On top of that, the romance story was just dumb. How many guys have the energy for sex twelve hours after waking from a coma and an attempt on his life?

As I said before, the suspense story is well-plotted. I would suggest if you are interested in reading this book, that you read the first two books the Cincinnati series to see what led up to this story. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
