A Smart Read!

Ms. May's deftly woven story will capture the reader's interest within the first few pages and hold that interest until the final page. This was a very strong suspense read with a dash of romance added to keep things well balanced. Angela David is following in her father's footsteps. She is working hard at becoming an FBI profiler that her father would be proud of. She has returned to New York City in order to work with her mentor and fathers friend Agent Cain. She is not in the city long before she gets her first case. Men are being killed in heinous ways and there seems to be no connection...it's not long before Angie puts the clues together and finds out that to her shock that this case is going to hit much closer to home than she ever thought possible. What could a serial killing she was working on have to do with her father's death? Her only tether in this new emotional storm is detective Carson Servero. He's street smart, handsome, and willing to help her through her first case. He's attracted to her but can they mix business with pleasure...or better yet, should they? Again readers will be drawn into this dramatic and suspenseful read. The romance between Servero and Angie is very much a "back burner" storyline but there is still enough hot chemistry between these two characters that fans of romance fiction should come away satisfied. Ms. May is a very talented author and one that should be kept in mind when looking for a plot twisting read that will keep the reader glued to the pages until the very end.

terrific kick butt police procedural

FBI Agent Angela David comes home to New York to train under legendary profiler Marcus Cain, a close friend and partner of her late father. As he tutors her on the job, they succeed in apprehending dangerous criminals; for instance they capture dangerous Zeus due to his experience and knowledge and her skill to pose as a foreigner. However, Manhattan also serves as a depressing reminder that her beloved dad was murdered with his throat sliced here. Soon she is assigned her first case to uncover the identity of a devious serial killer. Cain introduces Angela to New York Police Officer Carson Severo who is to help her with her investigation. Though she struggles to ignore her dad's death her current case keeps intertwining with his murder. Someone apparently holds a grudge against the David family. Angela knows she must stop this serial killer before anyone else she loves is hurt. Though the audience will wonder if Angela should have been disqualified from the investigation for personal reasons, readers will enjoy this strong heroine as she works the mean streets of New York. The romance takes a back seat to the action as physically active Angela wrestles with killers and follows them in wild Manhattan car pursuits. A final twist that seems way out adds suspense to a terrific kick butt police procedural. Harriet Klausner
