Street Heat
A former detective in San Francisco confronts the serial killer who got away.... and the woman who broke his heart.
In 1985, Peterson Chace was the lead investigator for the Moonstone Murderer Case, a serial killer that held San Francisco in a grip of terror. Moonstone eluded capture and escaped justice in a brutal confrontation on the Golden Gate Bridge, leading Chace into a breakdown and forcing his resignation from the police department.
Three years later, with a new career as a mystery novelist, Chace is drawn back in to the world he left when Moonstone reappears, slaughtering seemingly random victims and holding the city in a grip of fear. As the case progresses, Chace finds himself dealing with Mayor Sarah Westin, an ADA in the original case, and the one woman in his life Chace finds haunting his memory.
In a shattering climax deep in downtown San Francisco, Chace confronts his demons once and for all, and learns that sometimes, the second chance is the one that counts....

Graham leads me off of my comfortable old couch out into the city streets, into a world that woke me with night terrors as a child. I don't grasp the language easily, which forced me to reread when the cops chatted. I felt like an investigator myself - allowed to watch Chace and Sarah, but not really let inside... well, never close enough for me, which had me as irritated as Screaming Jae by the end. Still, Chace's soft heart drew me in, helped me through the rough spots, and kept the nightmares at bay. For now. Until my next Graham, I'm sure. And honestly, after this Graham, my comfy old couch isn't as enticing after all. :)

Wow! This was a GREAT read! This book kept me on the edge of my seat as Peterson Chace hunted down the serial killer he thought he'd taken out years ago. But the killings start up again, and it's clear someone is not about to let Chace forget the gruesome case that almost did him in. Now they are playing games, daring Chace to find them. Wonderful characters, great emotional conflicts, a plot that will keep you guessing and an outcome that will leave you breathless! Don't miss this one!

I have a feeling there could be Peter Chace sequel. The Hands of Death aren't finished yet. I couldn't put the book down. I happen to know this author personally and now see him in a whole new light. Can't wait to ask some questions. ;0)
