New York City public defender Macie Wild has taken on the defense of the burglar the media is calling the Buzz Killer . . . he buzzes apartment lobbies to select his targets. But the case becomes far more complicated when Jackson Hall is injured in an attempted prison killing and Macie herself becomes the victim of a vicious attack.

The hostility of the district attorney complicates her efforts to defend her client against the homicide charge, as does the criminal circle’s code of silence. Then she meets ex-detective Gunnar Cody, a freelance video journalist. They form an uneasy alliance, but are they too late to expose the conspiracy at the heart of the case?

Peopled with engaging, believable characters, the narrative, with its crisp dialogue, is complex and entertaining. Vivid city locales draw readers into the unfolding tale; the fast pace of the story, coupled with unexpected plot twists, keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the turning of the final page.

Highly recommended.… (més)
