Dee Henderson Is Back!
Ann Silver is a cop’s cop. As the Midwest Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region’s most trusted investigative positions.
Paul Falcon is the FBI’s top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder.
Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn’t expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention.
The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is…

Summary
I am a huge fan of Dee Henderson and was disappointed in the lack of romance and chemistry between the main characters. This is why I only rated it a 3. She has proven that she can create chemistry in the O'Malley Series and the Uncommon Heros series. I enjoyed that we had so many of the characters from the O’Malley family make
an appearance. The fact that Ann was an author added an interesting facet to the story line. I was fascinated by the cases they called her into. Ann was a balance between
a highly intelligent Homicide investigator with an interesting job to a barely functioning adult. Not what I expect in my heroine. I loved the addition of her dog Midnight/Black. He had his own personality which was a great addition to the story. To level set expectations the story is extremely light on romance and heavily weighted on suspense. There really wasnt much chemistry between the characters. There are several deaths, and mentions of unusual murders that Ann gets called in to investigate.
There are not a lot of gory details; I don't think anyone would be disturbed by it.
There may have been some kissing. Little to no romance.
I don't recall any drugs or alcohol
