Rookie Club Thriller Series Box Set #1-3: Dead Center / One Clean Shot / Dark Passage
From USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author Danielle Girard comes the first 3 books in the Rookie Club Series: DEAD CENTER, ONE CLEAN SHOT, and DARK PASSAGE.
DEAD CENTER:
A Serial Offender…
A Dead Cop…
A Suspicious Husband…
A predator is on the hunt. An aggressive monster who preys on a specific type of victim. Female. Police. Officers.
For San Francisco Sex Crimes Inspector Jamie Vail, no case has ever hit closer to home. The brutalized women are her colleagues. Her friends. Divorced and alone, Jamie vows to end the violence and capture this deranged criminal. Nothing else matters.
Within days of the latest attack, a female police officer is murdered and Jamie’s ex-husband is the primary suspect. Now, Jamie must confront her past and solve the murder of her ex-husband's lover to stop a serial rapist. But a violent criminal has Jamie in his sights and time is running out before she becomes the killer's ultimate prize.
ONE CLEAN SHOT:
A crooked politician…<
A series of unconnected shootings,
And the evidence that threatens a secret she said she’d die to keep…
Two of San Francisco’s most powerful residents are murdered. Each shooting is linked to the powerful NRA. Is the killer making a political statement? Or is the message more personal? When the case falls in Homicide Inspector Hailey Wyatt's lap, rumors are that the assignment has nothing to do with her investigative ability and everything to do with her senator father-in-law.
The case has the media in a frenzy and the brass in a panic. The entire city is on high alert. The evidence makes it impossible to deny that Hailey’s family is at the center of the case.
The police chief’s message is clear. Solve the case. Quickly. Or else. As the evidence points closer to home, Hailey's partner questions her dedication to the pursuit of justice. Because Hailey has secrets of her own. Secrets she’s vowed to protect. Secrets she’s willing to die for.
DARK PASSAGE:
An undercover operation gone wrong…
A cop murdered in front of her eyes…
And the sharpshooter who will do anything to find the truth…,/strong>
Special Ops Agent Cameron Cruz is working with her team to shut down a massive human trafficking operation, working out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Back to work after the birth of her son, she is strong and ready. Until she witnesses a colleague killed before her eyes. The death is shocking, but the reality is much, much worse. The shooter is someone she trusted. Someone she loved. Someone she thought was killed during an undercover assignment—her son’s father, Diego.
Despite what she's seen, Cameron's love for Diego is as alive as he is. But someone is working hard to frame him. Suddenly, she must question who she can trust. And who is willing to risk it all to send her—and the truth—to the grave.

A definite must read book and series
I had already read the Dr. Schwartzman series, and then found this one. I'm not sure what the suggested reading order is, since both series include a lot of the same characters, but I would highly recommend that you read both series. They're all fantastic stories, and you certainly won't be disappointed!
This was a terrific series, and I enjoyed getting to know some of the characters, as well as what happens in their personal lives. There were many horrific stories, but in the end these strong women survived.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Confusing series
First book was good. Second book was confusing with so many characters and so much focus on things that really didn’t do much for the story but I finished it. Third book had me struggling to continue and while I liked the characters, the plot was just dragging on with not a lot of information to clear anything up and more characters to confuse even more. Frustrating. I’m all about having a depth to the plot but this was too much and I didn’t finish. That is not like me.

Danielle Girard's writing style makes you stay up way past your bedtime! Once again I could not put these books down! The characters are so well rounded and real they feel like friends you have known your entire life.

Family
Words are not adequate to describe the terrible pain involved when there are lies and deception in a family relationship. Tho love can heal if allowed!
