Book Review by Bob Walch
Incarcerated for nearly
two decades for the serial murders of six women, Anthony Amaro is
about to have his case revisited. A recent killing of a
psychotherapist has raised some serious questions about Amaro’s
case. Now two investigations are delving into the past to see if
there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.
On one hand there’s
Carrie Blank, whose half-sister was supposedly killed by the
imprisoned man. She joins a legal team formed to exonerate Amaro only
because she wants the real killer uncovered and this may be the best
way of doing so.
NYPD Detective Ellie
Hatcher along with her partner, JJ Rogan, are also assigned to the
case to reassess the first investigation to see if and where it went
off the tracks.
As these two quite
different groups of individuals delve through the conflicting pieces
of evidence, they’ll be drawn to Carrie Bank’s hometown where
some unexpected surprises await them.
This is another
episode in the Ellie Hatcher series, but Carrie Blank is such a
strong personality that she nearly steals the show. Burke says that
as she was writing this novel Blank “wouldn’t recede into the
background” . The reader will probably be happy that this uppity
character didn’t play the secondary role she was originally
assigned!
