Description
From the #1 New York Times bestsellng author of Seeing Red comes a "scorching...action-filled" (Publishers Weekly) tale of corruption and betrayal, revenge, and reversal.
When newswoman Britt Shelley wakes up to find herself in bed with Jay Burgess, a star detective in the Charleston PD, she remembers nothing of how she got there—or how Jay wound up dead. Handsome, hard-partying Jay was one of four heroic city officials who risked their lives five years earlier to lead others to safety from a catastrophic fire. His lifelong friend, Raley Gannon, was later assigned to investigate the blaze. But Raley never finished the inquiry because one calamitous night his career was destroyed by scandal. Now, the newswoman whose biased reporting helped bring about Raley's downfall might be his only chance to vindicate himself and get justice for the fire's victims. But the more Raley and Britt discover about that fateful day, the more perilous the situation becomes, until they're not only chasing the truth but running for their lives.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Narrator Victor Slezak is masterful at spinning this thriller, which he delivers in Southern drawls listeners will savor. Packed with twists and turns, the story features characters listeners will love to hate and can't help but love. The last thing Charleston news anchor Britt Shelley remembers is going to meet with an old flame, a cop who was one of four heroes in a fire five years earlier. He's promised her the news story of her career. The next thing she knows, she wakes up to find herself in bed with him. He's dead, she's charged with murder, and she has no memory of how he died. Brown is an expert at romantic suspense, and this is a great listen. A.C.P. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

        June 30, 2008
        At the start of this scorching if somewhat formulaic thriller from bestseller Brown (Play Dirty
        ), Charleston, S.C., TV reporter Britt Shelley wakes up in bed next to the dead body of police detective Jay Burgess. While Jay had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the authorities suspect foul play. Jay's former best friend, ex-fireman Raley Gannon, suffered a similar shock five years earlier, waking up next to party girl Suzi Monroe's naked corpse after a party at Jay's home. Raley had been investigating a fire at a local police station that took seven lives, despite the heroic efforts of Jay and several other cops, one of whom is now South Carolina's attorney general. Cleared of Suzi's death, Raley eventually teams with Britt to look into a nasty arson coverup. Brown laces her dependable romantic fireworks with a solid action-filled plot, though readers should be prepared for a few stereotypes, including a limp-wristed gay, a macho skinhead and a power-mad female politician.
