Scary Plot

Garbrielle Kincaid is arrogant, hard-assed and flip. At least that's the image she presents to the world. She's not a typical Vicki Hines' heroine, but as Vicki peels away her layers to reveal her true vulnerabilities, to partner agent Max Grayson and to the reader, she becomes a multi-faceted character. While rich in contradictions, she is totally dedicated to her role as a secret agent who works for an elite covert unit known only to the president. It's called the Special Detail Unit, and the SDU is so clandestine that it's not even on other intelligence agencies' radar. Kincaid prefers to work alone because she doesn't want to endanger other operatives if she makes a mistake or fails to achieve her mission. Why is this her major concern? In this intelligence group, instead of agents electing to swallow a cyanide tablet to prevent their giving away vital information about their mission and other operatives when they are captured, SDU assigns another agent to eliminate their own to make sure no one finds out about the unit's existence. So, when Kincaid blows her cover while investigating terrorists who have already planted a lethal virus at strategic points around the United States, the president, who is also Kincaid's best friend, orders Grayson to terminate her. But, first he has to debrief Kincaid and find out everything she's learned about the terrorists, who, if they are successful, will cause millions to die around the world as the virus spreads. This sets the stage for a sizzling-paced thriller and suspenseful romance, but the clock zips up another notch when Kincaid falls victim to the virus and can't remember what she knows. Can Grayson save her? Enter the "Ladies of Carnel Cove," a team of SDU undercover operatives masquerading as local society ladies. This story could have dissolved into a romp, but Vicki keeps tight control of the plot while establishing a string of characters for future thrillers based on SDU missions. An exceptional work and top-rated read. Congratulations, Vicki! You've written another masterpiece.

Hinze's Best

Captivating, one of Hinze's most engrossing suspense/romance stories. Scenes are described in lush detailed strokes, infusing the story with a romantic soul. It's action packed and beyond question the work of a gifted writer. L. Brigman editor.

Sequel to Lady Liberty -- Very highly recommended

As the group only known as the Consortium targets the United States economy, only Special Detail Unit Agent Gabby Kincaid has enough knowledge to piece together their threat. Posing as a judge in the small town of Carnal Cove, Florida, Gabby investigates a connection between the local lab and several businessmen. Then a Global Warrior attacks her, exposing her cover. Dutifully, she marks herself for extermination rather than risking the lives of untold numbers of field agents. Her superiors choose her partner Max Grayson to kill her. Max arrives in the midst of a storm prepared to carry out his duty, but not before he extracts crucial information from Abby. Before he can learn what she has discovered, a lab accident leads Abby to exposure from a particularly virulent form of encephalitis. When treatment causes amnesia, Max uses the opportunity to put off duty for the sake of possibly recovering information from Abby. His continued investigation leads to the discovery that Abby has connected with a group of local women who are subject matter experts for his own organization. With their help, Max hopes to discover the identities of the local members of Consortium before the virus spreads through the swamps of Florida and across the nation. Author Vicki Hinze once again demonstrates an extraordinary talent for penning exciting romantic suspense with LADY JUSTICE. Conspiracy theorists have long warned of groups that could target the United States economy, bringing the country to its knees, and Hinze portrays this threat in tale both thrilling and compelling. Gabby shift from her reputation of a woman known as "Queen Bitch" to something more will strike a strong chord of sympathy with readers even as her red hot partner struggles between duty and love. Corruption , greed and love combine in this fast paced read that readers will find difficult to put down, and even more impossible to forget reading. LADY JUSTICE comes very highly recommended.

exhilarating action-packed anti-terrorist thriller

Being female and steely tougher than any man, Senior Secret Service Agent Gabrielle Kincaid of the Special Detail Unit not only relishes her nickname as the "Queen Bitch", but thrives to enhance it. She believes that cold iron cerebral decisions keep an agent like her working undercover to counter terrorists alive. Currently, she works a case in the Carnal Cove, Florida area where biological contamination of crops has killed over forty people here and in Texas. When a Global Warrior attacks Gabby, she realizes that her cover that enabled her to infiltrate the group is probably blown. Her superiors in DC assign her partner Max Grayson to kill Gabby because they insist no one must know that the SDU exists. Gabby must stay alive to stop a viable threat using Eastern Equine Encephalitis infected mosquitoes and a test virus that could kill millions while doing this she finds the answers lead to high level corruption and greed. This is an exhilarating action-packed anti-terrorist thriller that hooks readers from the July 4th start at various North American locals. The fast-paced story line accelerates when Gabby becomes the prey that if assassinated could lead to pandemic disaster. Making matters ironically worse is that Max is the only person she loves and she knows he will perform ACTS OF HONOR for his country over his feelings. Though the federal conspiracy has been done many times before, readers will enjoy the terrific LADY JUSTICE.

Remember to keep breathing!

"Lady Justice" is the code name for Gabrielle Kincaid. Gabby is deep undercover as a judge in Carnel Cove, Florida. In reality, she is a senior covert operative in the Special Detail Unit "SDU", where she works only high-risk Special Projects. The SDU is an elite group of Secret Service operatives who protect America from the world's worst terrorists. It is imperative that SDU preserves its anonymity - even if it means eliminating its best agent. Gabby is dealing with a band of terrorists who have the sole purpose of bringing the world's economy to its knees by releasing a lethal virus with no known cure. The virus is dubbed "Z-4027" and is an accelerated version of "EEE" (Eastern equine encephalitis). Death is within 24 hours. When Global Warriors, an international group of hired assassins, attempts to murder Gabby, she has no way of knowing if it is due to her being a judge on a case involving them or if her cover has been blown. She has no choice but to contact Home Base and inform her commander. Gabby knows very well that it means her partner, Maxwell Grayson, will immediately be sent to "cancel her". But before Max kills Gabby, she wants to tell him everything she knows about the Z-4027 situation and where she hid the evidence. Problem is that Gabby has been infected and her memory is faltering. Max needs her information quickly. If he does not kill Gabby fast, the commander will send another unit out to cancel them both. To make things worse, Hurricane Darla has hit the area. ***** Even though SDU is a fictional group, everyone knows that groups such as it actually exist. Here is a peek into the lives of these extra special, and unsung, heros. If you ever dreamed of being a spy or undercover agent, this story will show you the harsh reality. Author Vicki Hinze has another winner with this military suspense novel. Fast paced and full of action, you will not be able to tear yourself away from the pages. Just remember as you read to keep breathing! ***** (...)
