Format:Paperback
Deputy Andrea Sullivan (Andi), left L.A and moved to Sedona. She thought she would leave her past and secrets behind her and have a fresh start. It was not to be. A series of murders puts paid to her peaceful existence bringing the horrors of L.A back in full force to her. The FBI are called in and Andi finds herself working with the arrogant Agent Cameron Ross. Andi dislikes Cameron at first, but gradually comes to like and respect her as they join forces to investigate the killings. The clues lead Andi and Cameron to believe that Patrick Doe, the serial killer Tori Hunter had investigated and lost, had resurfaced. Andi and Cameron pull out all the stops to solve the case and catch the killer. At the same time they find themselves losing the fight against the attraction that is consuming them both.
I've read all of Gerri's books and I would say that this one is one of the best she has ever written. Definitely the best out of the detective stories. I just could not put this one down and would really recommend it.

I don't like crime fiction. Gerri Hill tends to write either crime or romance and I'd bought this thinking it the latter. When I started the novel to find myself with a body and the almost obligatory strong silent investigator I very nearly hurled the book out the window. Rather glad I didn't!
Deputy Andi Sullivan is not the one dimensional Bogart copy I had feared, instead making a complex and intriguing leading character. Her antagonism with FBI agent Cameron Ross is rather obvious, but handled well and almost as a homage to formulaic novels rather than a slave to them.
Andi and Cameron quickly find themselves investigating a serial killer who's gruesome calling card is to dump the bodies in desert beauty spots, laid out carefully.
As with all hard-boiled detective stories, they fight against time, the odds and colleagues to catch the killer and save each other. But even as the cliches mount, you find you don't mind as Gerri is having such fun telling her story that it automatically makes it enjoyable for the reader too.
Do they catch the killer? Well of course! Do they fall in love? Not sure you're keeping up here!
But seriously, unless you are a booker prize only reading cynic I defy you not to like this novel.
Buy this book: For a good crime/romance romp that has little to do with real life
Don't buy: If you really do need verisimilitude in your reading.

I LOVE all of Gerri Hills books. Once again this was a book I couldnt put down and read within one day. With all of Gerri's books i have read them in one day and I have read all of them at least twice. She is a Fantastic Writer and all her Books are very well written, easy to read and very enjoyable.
This was not one of my Favourate Gerri Hill books but still a must read. I Highly recommend Gerri Hills Books.
On a not related matter.....I have only Just started reading Lesbian Fiction and Gerri Hill is first Author I found and i have now read all of her books. I was wondering if any of you could recommend other Authors similar to Gerri Hills style of writing.....Lesbian romance fiction....as having Read all of Gerri's Books at least one I am ready for a new Book....please contact me on sarahbridget at msn dot com (sarahbridget @ msn . com) Thank you.
