Publisher's Synopsis
It was a crime so brutal it changed the lives of even the most hardened homicide cops. The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, and when Judge Carey Moors stands in the way of convicting the killer, a public outcry puts her life in danger. Two of Minneapolis's top cops are assigned to protect the judge from harm: Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn't far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when the murderer escapes custody, the case cartwheels out of control. The stakes go even higher when the judge is kidnapped - snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit outside, watching her house. With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange, dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem.
