Neat wrap of a number of issues.

A well contrived novel that has Grace fighting a battle on two fronts. Her court trial for murder as well as having to dodge a singer's bullet. Suzie is under the same threat as well as Book who ends up being abducted.
All of the past from Grace is laid bare in the courtroom while her friends attempt to find the links to pinpoint the identity of who wants them dead and why.
A good fast paced story that has been a joy to read.

Another exciting Grace deHaviland novel...a must-read!

I can't get enough of this author's work! Exciting, intricate plots and twists and turns you just cannot predict, I am hooked! I feel as though the characters are flesh and blood, and through this series I am getting to know them well.

Grace on trial and running down and guys.

With Grace on trial for something already cleared by two investigations, she makes time to save her lover, solve a plot to eliminate her group of friends and catch a sniper. Busy girl!
