“Lieutenant!” A female investigator shouted as she waded through the water toward the riverbank in a hurry. She was holding a clear plastic evidence bag.
“We found a cell phone,” she called out as she reached us.
Pike looked at the investigator skeptically. “Where?”
Her eyes dipped to the ground, but she regrouped herself quickly. “It was near where the arm was found.”
“And it took a day to find it?” Pike raised his eyebrows.
She squared her shoulders but shrank somewhat under the lieutenant’s gaze. “It was in a tangle of weeds, but it could have just come to rest there in recent currents.”
It seemed Pike was a hard one to please, and he reminded me of the way I used to view Jack—an unforgiving perfectionist. And while Pike might not be impressed, I was pleased. That phone could lead us to a killer.

Overview of Power Struggle
One hit man who’s back for revenge.
One detective who’s not going down without a fight.
It’s been ten months since Detective Madison Knight almost died at the hands of Russian Mafia hit man Constantine Romanov. She hasn’t seen hide nor hair of him since he escaped police custody and fled to Russia soon after his arrest, except now her latest murder investigation gives her reason to believe he’s back in town. Seeing as the victim is the man who killed her grandfather, her perspective may be a little skewed, but with the MO smacking of Constantine and the victim’s connections to the mob, she finds it hard to be objective. Still, she’s doing her best to consider all the evidence.
When she receives a threatening letter from Constantine, however, her suspicions are confirmed. And he’s made it abundantly clear that not only does he plan to finish what he started but he has her family and loved ones in the crosshairs, too. Madison vows to do whatever it takes to save them, but as the hours race by, the body count rises. And the stakes only get higher when Madison’s sister, Chelsea, goes missing.
Now, Madison’s only play is to take Chelsea’s disappearance for what it really means: Constantine is calling Madison out for one final showdown. And they won’t both survive…
