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 Benno soon 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.
