Title Description
Miami is the beat for a Pulitzer Prize-winning police reporter in Edna Buchanan's new series launch. Blonde, green-eyed and game, Cuban-American Britt Montero knows the city's sleaze like her own backyard.
But now she's stonewalled. How did D. Wayne Hudson, a well-respected black, die? Did the cops do it?
Her editor wants to play it down, but Montero is onto a story about excessive police violence. When it breaks, so does the fragile truce that holds the city together. Montero finds her very life is at stake.
"Edna Buchanan is outrageous and unrivaled. Wonderful and unforgettable!" --Patricia D. Cornwell

| This was a decent murder mystery, but there were times when it dragged on a bit. I agree that although Donada Peters is an excellent reader, she probably wasn't the best choice for this book. Sometimes the British accent was distracting because it seemed so out of place. |

| While leafing through the catalog looking for a mystery writer to go to after finishing several series writers' works. I came upon Edna Buchanan and gave this book a try with extremely happy results. I feel she ranks right up there with the likes of Clive Cussler, Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell and etc. This fine author coupled with Donada Peters' reading make unbeatable listening. I will be surely be renting this series book by book and each time will be looking forward to the next title. |

| Although this book was mildly entertaining, it took forever for the story to come together. In fact, it was a long time before I could figure out what the story would actually be about. There is nothing wrong with Donada Peters as a reader - but Britt Montero is half Cuban, and Peter's English accent just doesn't work. It made it very difficult to visualize or relate to the characters. |

Reviewer: James Aiello (see other books I've reviewed) | July 21, 2001 |
| This book is more soap opera than detective or mystery novel. It rambles on through 7 tapes to tell a story that wouldn't take up one side of 1 tape. |
