Judge Hunt was presiding at a trial with an aggressive prosecutor, Mickey O'Rourke. When the attorney starts acting confused and uncertain, Ramsey has no choice but to declare a mistrial. When the prosecutor disappears, all of the local law enforcement is out to track down what is happening. They don't appreciate the Feds coming in and taking over.
Savich is used to dealing with this kind of resentment and handles the situation appropriately, making use of all his resources as they work to find Mr. O'Rourke and watch over the Judge.
Ms. Coulter's FBI series is fast-paced with almost never ending excitement. This one is no different. Even as we see Sherlock and Savich do their duty, we see their love for each other and their son, Sean. The small insights we get into their family just makes readers appreciate their sacrifice more. Readers will grieve with the families of Mr. O'Rourke and Judge Hunt as we cheer for those seeking to solve the mysteries that surround them. It's always hard to see these books come to an end since the characters seem so real.
Book Summary
San Francisco Judge Ramsey Hunt, longtime friend to FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich, is presiding over the trial of Clive and Cindy Cahill – accused in a string of murders – when the proceedings take a radical turn. Federal prosecutor Mickey O'Rourke, known for his relentless style, becomes suddenly tentative in his opening statement, leading Hunt to suspect he’s been threatened – suspicions that are all but confirmed when Hunt is shot in the back.
Savich and Sherlock receive news of the attack as an ominous note is delivered to Savich at the Hoover Building: YOU DESERVE THIS FOR WHAT YOU DID. Security tapes fail to reveal who delivered the tapes. Who is behind the shooting of Judge Ramsey Hunt? Who sent the note to Savich? And what does it all mean? Savich and Sherlock race to San Francisco to find out…watching their backs all the while.
