Barbara Fister is a powerful emerging voice in the mystery genre. She is a rising star with her intriguing, fast-paced plots and her rich and fully developed characters. Her heroine is smart, strong, honest and tough, and she’s not afraid of a fight.
Anni Koskinen is a cop’s cop. She loves her job (it’s the only one she ever wanted) and because of her pride in her profession and honesty she’s been forced from the life she loves. After testifying against a fellow officer, she’s forced out and into the big bad world of ‘what am I going to do and do I want to do it?’
Anni decides to use her talent and work as a private investigator. She receives a call from her priest. Anni is needed to help out a woman by the name of Rosa Saenz. Anni learns that Rosa is a former radical who is wanted by the FBI for a 30-year-old murder. To further complicate things, the murdered man is the father of Anni’s mentor.
Annie reopens the old murder case in the attempt to clear the former radical’s name. As she follows history, it becomes clear that the authorities have a great need to find Rosa guilty-not find the murderer. If Anni isn’t careful, her digging into the past could mean her demise.
When you close the book, you’ll want more of Barbara Fister’s wonderful novels.
