Ms.J. D. Robb has outdone herself in this book. Dallas has faced her past in a most startling way and it was unexpected to see the confrontation in the way it was written. The storyline just kept you reading, you were ( at least I was) unable to put the book down wanting to know what was around the corner. Dallas is a strong character in the everyday working situations, but she is strongest in this book. I admire Ms. Robbs style of writing and am always waiting for the next book out. Thankyou.
