This is the first book I have
read by this author and I really found it fun and a page turner even though it
stretched possibility and probability.
A short synopsis would have a
good looking young Assistant US Attorney witnessing a triple murder and barely
escaping herself, then with vigilante diligence she sets off to right
wrong. She does it by breaking several
rules like the physical intimidation of a prisoner and other acts that should
have sent her packing rather than suspended.
Of course she then befriends
this African American prisoner who was just released and additional murders,
drug crimes, and other violent interruptions raise the odds and the excitement
while the two women move between law enforcement and criminals to solve and
resolve the crimes.
It is a black/white
contrasting interaction between the heroes that sets the tone and gives the
book some humor as well as a love affair that the heroine longs for from the
beginning of the text. All this gets
resolved, but I will not tell you how since that would spoil the story.
Devil’s Corner is the run down
section of the city where the black heroine lives and where the white heroines
father grew up. It is a place that has
always had an ethnic concentration and over time became a district for crack
sellers to prosper.
There are lots of angles and
they are all resolved in a way that is unique to this Lone Ranger and Tonto
pairing. Don’t take it too serious, just
enjoy the fun.
