Then again, as a police officer of long experience, Vogel knows it’s dangerous to rely on assumptions. As his investigations lead him in all sorts of unexpected directions, uncovering a number of shocking secrets in the dead man’s past, Vogel comes to realize that nothing about this case is as straightforward as it seems.

Unbelievable Read!!!

I highly recommend "Danger Within" by Hilary Bonner with the highest recommendation possible. So many twists and turns that I found myself reading into the night. Very well written. I love mysteries and love to solve them but could not solve this one until the last page. A sign of a very well written novel. Looking up more David Vogel mysteries.
