Oh. Wow.
This book just got twistier and twistier! Talk about a bizarre string of events and a cold case file seemingly unrelated come together and pull the reader along until the very last clue falls into place.
I loved this book, simply because I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
The opening scene introduces us to a riot taking place in front of one of the police precincts of La Rosa, CA. Police officers are holding the line, but some get injured, like 15 year veteran, Danni Grace. It’s intense and the crowd is incensed, but no one really knows why. And this is the thread that carries readers along – people are upset, the mayor is determined to get rid of the police force, and nobody knows why.
Danni takes a leave of absence to recover from her injuries when there’s a police-involved shooting, and calls to disband the police force grow louder. Her ex-husband, an investigator for the Prosecutor’s office, is relegated to working on cold cases when he gets too close to the truth concerning the on-going, or lack of, police investigation.
This story has everything a fantastic police procedural requires. A variety of characters – are any of them truly trustworthy? Vivid setting descriptions, action scenes, suspenseful scenes, a trail of clues that don’t make sense. And TWISTS galore!
If you want an exciting, page-turning, intriguing summer read, pick up a copy of Code of Courage by Janice Cantore. You won’t be disappointed.
I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley. All opinions expressed are my own.
