Thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Saul Black for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is #3 in a series about homicide detective, Valerie Hart, but it worked as a stand alone since I hadn't read the first two.
A neighbor alerts the police to a possible intruder; next door, the husband is found brutally murdered and the wife clinging to life. As Detective Hart investigates, she realizes she has a history with the victim, Adam Grant, a successful lawyer. Evidence is soon found that points them towards someone that Grant helped prosecute.
This is a great police procedural - I loved figuring out "who done it." I also liked the peek into Valerie's personal life and the influence of her job on her life decisions. However, this book was very graphic in both sex and violence so be warned. It was enough to lower my rating but the rest was enough to make me want to read his past and future books in this series.
