The book follows LAPD Homicide Detective Davie Ricahrds, one of the few cops that has used their weapon in the line of duty as she killed a suspect to save an officer’s life. She is under investigation at the start of the book, waiting for the commission to rule on the shooting, when she is called out to probe the murder of a 19-year-old Russian. She knows that any mistake could end her career and works hard to solve the case before the killer strikes again.
The first book in the Tucker Sinclair series is called False Profits. Tucker is working as a senior manager at a prestigious Los Angeles consulting firm where she gets a job to help a doctor expand his medical practices. She dives head first into the job as she is on the fast track to partner, but when she does the job – she is accused of “doctoring” the projections to get rich. She is suspended from the firm for this even though it is something that she didn’t do and she’ll need to figure out how to clear her name before the FBI gets to her.
