In this suspenseful thriller set in Dallas, A. W. Gray takes us behind the police lines of a homicide investigation and into the private passions that fuel an urban nightmare.
A stolen BMW is recovered with a stash of cocaine, lurid photos, and a charred, dismembered body. Dallas Metro detective Ham Bennosoon connects the victim to a secret circle of family depravity and sexual indiscretion - a mother and daughter who blur the lines between predator and prey.
Are the suspects innocent targets? Guilty avengers?Nothing has ever been proven, and a stone-cold killer is about to strike again.
A. W. "Bill" Gray, a native Texan, has drawn critical acclaim for his crime novels, most of which feature Texas crime lawyer Bino Phillips. He is also the author of the true-crime book Poisoned Dreams. Gray also writes courtroom dramas under the pseudonym Sarah Gregory, Crosland Brown, William Gray, and Jeffrey Ames.
There's strong potential for a series here. Ham Benno is a great character and Bon Shaw got him and all the other characters just right. His performance is outstanding.
This is a nail-biting thriller with a great twist at the end. I'd like to see more stories involving Detective Benno and his partner, especially if Bon Shaw reads these stories.
