When the murder of a woman in a small Texas town is linked
to multiple murdered women in California, FBI profiler Mark Wolfe comes to
town. He arrives just in time to
intervene as the only female detective for the San Marcos police department
finds herself in the middle of an armed robbery while getting dinner. Unfortunately this set up Mark as the hero
and Allison as the damsel for much of the book.
If Allison was in danger, Mark would rescue her. Even when Allison didn’t need help, Mark
exerted his will because he never really respected her as a fellow law
enforcement agent. He even went so far
as to speculate that her position of detective was a matter of “small town
politics” or being the “token woman” rather than believing Allison actually
earned it. And yet, Allison pursued him
romantically. Thankfully the romance
took a backseat to the hunt for the killer, which was tense (the murders always
occur on certain dates and the next is in a matter of days) and masterfully
done.
4/5
