Despite
having brought down two major crime families, Pavel’s life is still filled with
problems. The two bright things in his world: Teresa Mancini, his fiancée, who,
on a good day, has the ability to bring him to his knees and his daughter Rita
Grace, a result of a whirlwind affair before he fell in love with Teresa.
Once
again, murder is the prime evil propelling Pavel into his latest case. After
the murder of his partner and friend Nick Haxton’s ex-wife Brenda, Pavel leads
a team to dethrone Guillermo Diaz, the leader of a drug gang believed to be
responsible for Brenda’s death. Detective Danni Stone joins the local agency.
Stone knows Diaz on the most intimate of levels, and wants to be present at his
demise.
During
the investigations, not only does the team grieve with Nick over Brenda’s
death, they also deal with the loss of their long-time Assistant Director in
Charge Steven Lazlo, who was gunned down in their own backyard. Pavel has a
particularly hard time dealing with Lazlo’s death and is determined to hold
everyone involved responsible.
As if Pavel
can take anymore, Teresa receives a substantially large check from an anonymous
benefactor, and insists that Pavel deal with it while she decides how to spend
it. But not before she uses her iron-willed determination to find out who the
benefactor is even if it means breaking into her attorney’s office looking for
answers. Being thrown in jail would stop any ordinary woman, but apparently not
Teresa.
Join
Pavel as he wades through harrowing situations, suspects aplenty and suspense
in this third thrilling installment of the Ivanovich
Series.
