A simple sting operation takes a violent and unexpected turn for Detective Eve Ronin in a gripping thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detective Eve Ronin and her soon-to-retire partner, Duncan Pavone, are running a 24-7 sting in a guard-gated enclave of palatial homes in Calabasas. Their luxury McMansion is a honey trap, set to lure in the violent home invaders terrorizing the community. The trap works, leaving three intruders dead, a body count that nearly includes Eve and Duncan.

Eve’s bosses are eager to declare the case closed, but there are too many unanswered questions for her to let go. Was the trap actually for her, bloody payback for Eve’s very public takedown of a clique of corrupt deputies? Or is there an even deadlier secret lurking behind those opulent gates? Eve’s refusal to back down and her relentless quest for the truth make her both the hunter…and the prey.

Critic reviews

“The seamy side of California dreaming…Goldberg not only ties up…but links some of Eve’s investigations in ways as disturbing as they are surprising.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Lively descriptive prose enhances the tight plot of this episodic crime novel, which reads like a TV show in narrative form. Columbo fans will have fun.”—Publishers Weekly

“A great series…Eve Ronin continues to dazzle and show her gritty side as she progresses in the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.”—Mystery and Suspense Magazine

This is a very good hard-boiled type detective story with twists. The characters are varied, well-described, and enjoyable to read. There is a lot of mystery and action put into the various scenes, and I just like the style of writing. It is not a cheery book - it's a bit depressing at times. But then, crime and corruption are depressing. The performance is very good.

Very entertaining story and performance

Fun read. Characters and situations are believable. Constant action but not over the top. I enjoyed the read.

I love the Eve Ronin books, and this one is no exception. The writing is fast-paced, the action just keeps on coming, and the characters are believable and imperfect -- although this detective's obsession and unstoppable drive probably aren't typical, it's still nice to hope that such selflessness still exists. America needs more heroes. I hope there are many more books in this series.

Couldn't put it down!
