A Killer's Devotion: Sequel to "A Killer's Tears"
Despite all that was revealed about Ian Ramsey's crimes during the Hope Kane criminal trial, Ramsey is still walking the streets as a free man. Prosecutors are hesitant to indict a powerful man like Ian Ramsey, unless they are presented with irrefutable evidence that will guarantee a conviction. Until Ramsey is tried and convicted of his crimes, Hope and her friends, Edward Miller and Annie Sharpe, must live each day in fear of Ramsey taking revenge against them for derailing his scheme to frame Hope for the murder of her husband.
Even Ramsey's most trusted henchman, Dom McGee, has to run for his life for refusing to shield Ramsey from federal prosecutors by taking the rap for Ramsey's crimes. His devotion to Ian Ramsey isn't enough to spend the rest of his life in prison.
In this sequel to A Killer's Tears (book 2 of 3), Edward forms a new law firm with a surprising new partner to protect his friends from Ramsey's attacks by resuscitating a prior lawsuit he had commenced against Ramsey for his crimes. He and his partner join forces with a mysterious woman, Jackie Sire, to dig into Ramsey's world of crimes, only to uncover an unforeseen conspiracy filled with death and deception, and an unimaginably powerful man known as Odin who will do whatever is necessary to protect Ramsey.
Their winner-take-all fight against Ramsey and Odin unfolds in a federal courthouse, where the jury's verdict unwittingly will determine the life and death of the litigants.

This book is part of a series with the overarching theme of political corruption and power. Tom Rose, a brilliant attorney, needs more than a win in the courtroom. He is determined to shield the people he cares about from a ruthless, connected criminal obsessed with fanatical revenge.
The story begins in a moment of quiet and contemplation, interlacing scenery and conflicted emotions:
The author effectively balances action, emotion and mystery. Those elements combined with multidimensional characters enthralled me as I anticipated the next chain of events. The depositions and courtroom drama are intense. At the point when the conclusion seems obvious, surprise elements, such as the revelation of a character's past, step it up by changing the course of the story.
The dialogue reflects the complexities of love and loss:
I recommend the book to legal thriller fans. However, keep in mind that the book is part of a series. Some authors encapsulate each book of a series so that each adventure has closure before the protagonist moves on to the next. In this case, I think I would have appreciated the book more had I read the prequel. Also, there is a lack of closure in how the ending compels you to read the next book in the series. However, you may want to do just that.

He stared out into the ocean, watching the waves roll in and then out. There was a simple predictability that he liked. That brought him to this spot every morning. Why couldn't his own life be predictable?

The dialogue reflects the complexities of love and loss:
She had been carrying around a weight she hadn't before noticed - weight of the two men in her life. The thought that she'd be alone brought a smile to her face. She promised from that moment on, she would decide what happiness meant.
