FBI Special Agent Jake Tucker works hard to be an excellent investigator and a great dad to his two kids, even if he is divorced. Having Cass McKenna as his partner helps with both goals. When a shot in the dark takes out a colleague, Jake and Cass set out to find the shooter. They discover a shadowy trail of drugs and criminal conduct connected with a casino--and the battered, bloody body of Jake's ex-wife. Jake is sure Tam's new husband, a powerful state senator, killed her. But Lady Justice can be battered, too, and soon Jake finds himself in a new fight--a fight of faith, the fight of his life. Linda J. White is the author of "Bloody Point," "Words of Conviction," and the HOLT Medallion-winning "Seeds of Evidence." A former journalist, she lives in Virginia with her husband, two cats, and a Sheltie who loves to herd them all.
