In a town in Texas called Corpus Christi, Detective Mackenzie, known as Maxie, starts investigating a murder of an investment advisor that seems totally random, because of the way he was murdered. Things start off becoming even stranger because it seems that the victim is a normal, very nice guy that didn’t have enemies at all, although being quite successful in his business with his best-friend. Maxie, the lead detective, and our main character, is the best homicide detective around and quite a successful woman full of style and confidence.

As things progress we readers find out that maybe, just maybe, this has nothing to do with the victim, but the question is: how? How do things connect? Because all we have to go with is the fact that gang members are being killed, there’s a very known investment advisor dead, the victim, his office was ransacked and there’s a shady guy watching everyone very close by. This gives us many possibilities to wander and wonder, making the book progression interesting and the following scenes eagerly expected.

Curtis, the victim, turns out to be the cousin of an old-style homicide reporter with persistence and will, and after the case is opened, both the main character and Devin, the reporter, start cooperating to solve this murder spree, that promises to quickly turn into a lethal pursuit against the criminals behind this, but this is way bigger than it looks.

The stability of William’s Gensburger narrative is something that we have to praise, because not many authors can “keep up” with their own narratives, that is, without swaying or deviating from the story. In this book, we readers can feel that the writer was focused on the story while writing. The consistent, pleasant, fast paced narrative on this book, is well used as the author keeps things light when he needs to and tells all that we need to know in order to be intrigued and focused on the happenings. Characters were introduced sharply and briefly, as if there was an info box on each character, which is very cool, and the dynamics between them is either stated, or demonstrated in the same fast and informative manner. Very nice.
