Notorious contract killer Ricky Lozada is on trial and Dr. Rennie Newton is on his jury. Bringing the same dedication she displays as a surgeon to this job, she delivers a verdict of not guilty- and discovers she has a new admirer. Days after Lozada's release, one of Rennie's professional rivals is brutally murdered. Although Lozada's dark shadow looms over the case, Rennie becomes the prime suspect... while Lozada stalks her and rows more and more obsessed with having her. She forms an uneasy alliance with Wick Threadgill, a rogue detective with his own personal vendetta. Wick has nothing to lose by confronting a hit man, whoe, like the prize scorpions he treasures, strikes so quickly Rennie may never see it coming.

Whoa... this book had me thinking it would end is so many different ways... it didn't end the way that would cause a shudder in me... but it was a good read.

This was in my mailbox today - one I picked up off the relays. Thanks q-cow for sending it my way,and I'll journal again, once its read.

This was a pretty good thriller of a tale. I'm a big fan of Brown's work, and while I enjoyed all 400+ pages of this one, I still think "The Alibi" was her best work. But, these characters were well drawn, the plot was full of twists & turns, so if you like agood edge-of-your-seat thriller, this would be a book for you!

I'm sending this one off as a RABCK, to momx3lovesbooks in NE. I had planned to start a ray with this one, but she is the only one who showed an interest, so its hers now...

Happy Reading!! *mailed today, 2/7
