À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Scorching.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Los Angeles Police Detective Lena Gamble is held in disgrace by department higher-ups for the explosive way the infamous Romeo case played out, even though she s still hailed as a hero by her colleagues for catching the killer. As punishment, she hasn t been allowed to handle a real murder investigation since. Until finally, after eight months, the chief tosses her a case

Gripping.
Toronto Sun

But when Lena gets a look at the scene, she can t help but wonder whether she s being set up to be exiled once and for all: The victim is unidentified. There are no witnesses. And there are no leads. Just a body, chopped into pieces and dropped in a Dumpster gruesome enough to ensure that, once again, the media will be following Lena s every move

Riveting and relentless.
