CHAPTER 1
Officer Izzy St. John plopped down at the table of one of Columbia, South Carolina's, finest Chinese restaurants and opened the fast-food carton of General Tso's chicken and white rice. The bell above the door rang and she glanced over her shoulder to see Chloe and her K-9, Hank, enter. "Hey. Here's yours." Izzy pushed the unopened food to her sister.
"Great. I'm starving." Chloe took the seat opposite her and opened her carton. Hank settled on the floor at her feet, while Chloe took a bite and sighed her enjoyment.
"Pork roast and mushrooms," Izzy said with a grimace. "Nasty.
How are we even related?" Chloe, one of Izzy's five siblings, was two years older.
"You don't know what's good," Chloe said once she swallowed.
"I know what fungus is and there's no way we're meant to eat it."
"I beg to argue with that," a voice said. Izzy turned once more to see Ruthie, another sister, standing there, still decked out in her scrubs. At least they didn't have blood on them this time. Ruthie sat in the third seat and opened the food Izzy slid in front of her. "Mushrooms have many redeeming qualities," Ruthie said. "They have selenium. It's good for your bladder."
Izzy rolled her eyes. "I don't care. I'm not eating them."
"How about they're rich in vitamin D and boost your immune system?" Ruthie took a bite.
"There are other ways to do both without having to eat fungus," Izzy said and opened her can of Coke.
This time Chloe wrinkled her nose. "You won't eat something healthy, but you'll pour that into your system. You make no sense at all."
It was an old argument. A comfortable one.
The door swung open once more and Brady, Izzy's brother who was a former underwater criminal investigator turned homicide detective, joined them at the table. "What's up, brats?"
Ruthie raised a brow. "I finally break away from the hospital where I'm saving lives and this is the respect I get?"
"From the head brat, no less," Izzy murmured. Brady was the eldest of the St. John siblings.
He shot her a wink and dug into his sweet and sour chicken. "So, Rude Ruthie, you cut anyone up today?"
"Yes, two down, two to go."
Izzy caught the startled gaze of the customer just leaving the booth next to their table. "She's a surgeon," she hurried to reassure her. The woman's obvious relief made Izzy giggle. Once she was out the door, Izzy threw her napkin at Brady. "Seriously, you're rotten. You've got to realize not everyone gets our morbid St. John family humor."
"Sorry" He didn't look very sorry He took another bite. "Who decided it was Chinese day anyway? I was kind of in the mood for Mexican."
"Derek decided," Chloe said. "Remember? Every second Thursday of the month is Chinese. He insisted."
"And yet," Brady said, "he's not here."
Izzy frowned. "Anybody seen him lately? I'm kind of worried about him. He wasn't at Mom's this past Sunday."
Her siblings stopped eating and looked at one another.
Chloe shook her head. "I haven't seen him, now that you mention it."
"Me either," Ruthie said.
Brady leaned back. "That's kind of weird."
Worry niggled at Izzy "You think he's all right?"
Ruthie's chuckle sounded forced. "Y'all need to stop. Derek's probably on one of his undercover gigs again."
"Or got called out with the SWAT team," Chloe murmured.
Izzy sighed. Such was the life of a family in law enforcement. "You're probably right. Hey, is Linc coming? I got him sweet and sour chicken."
Brady glanced at the clock on the wall. "He texted and said he was finishing up some paperwork and would be about ten minutes late."
Linc, second oldest in the St. John clan, had finally been assigned to the FBI field office in his home city. It had been one of his greatest joys to move back to be near his family once again and he never missed a Thursday lunch unless he just couldn't help it.
"So, who's eating at Mom's this Sunday?" Chloe asked.
"I'll be there," Izzy said.
The others chimed in their plans to attend the weekly lunch. Sometimes only a couple of them could make it. Sometimes they all could. No matter the number, the food was always there and waiting, thanks to their father, who had most weekends off from his law practice — and loved to cook.
Izzy drew in a deep breath and glanced around the table. How she loved them. And admired them. Her phone buzzed and she unclipped it from its home on her belt.
A text from Kevin, her partner.
Can you go on a stakeout with me tonight?
Yes, I guess. What's going on?
I'll explain when you pick me up at 6:30.

Izzy and Ryan work to find the identity of the shooter and discover there is much more going on than meets the eye. Izzy’s name is on a list with other cops, and one of her brothers asks her if she is a “dirty cop”. Who compiled this list? Are the other cops “dirty”? One brother won’t return her calls or texts, but has said he is working undercover. However, her mother, the Chief of Police, has no knowledge of an undercover operation. So, what’s up with him? There is a political race for mayor happening at the same time as Izzy’s investigation. Izzy’s friend is involved with the challenging competitor’s campaign, but something seems different about her.
Lynette Eason has written another stellar beginning story for her new series! There is plenty of action and tense-filled moments for the reader who likes suspense. There is also a mystery for the mystery lover, as well as a romance for the romantic. Izzy has grit and perseverance to find her partner’s killer. Ryan shares that same determination to find his brother’s killer. Both characters have a strong faith in God that they must rely on as they cope with their grief. Lynette has an ability to weave the faith of her characters into the story seamlessly, and shows them living their faith not just talking about it. This is a tale that will have readers turning pages quickly to see what excitement awaits them!

Lynette Eason did not disappoint in her latest novel. It was as described. Fast paced and edge-of-your seat. There's twist and turns every time you turn a page.
The death of Izzy's partner is especially hard on her as he is not only her partner by her very best friends from grade school days. In fact they have a pact that if neither of them are married by the time they are 50 they will marry each other. Izzy and Ryan do a fancy side step with their attraction for each other throughout the story. She's had a secret crush on him and he's had a secret crush on her.
I recommend this book to everyone. It was a great read. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
This book, while phenomenal, fell flat in places for this reader. The storyline was superb, but it did not measure up to my last read by Ms. Eason.
Even so, I could not put it down, kept turning page after page. The story and characters sank their hooks in deep, and did not let go. The plot gets deeper and deeper, thicker and thicker, one murder following another. And a twist at the end that I did not see coming.
Izzy’s drive to see justice—at any cost—teetered on careless at times, but her determination was nothing but admirable. Ryan’s determination equaled Izzy’s, even if he had to be “hands off” in the investigation. Together they made a good team, each complementing the other.
Ms. Eason tops off the tension and action, weaving in threads of romance—which served to bring more tension. Other than the few dry bits, this story is a gripping and compelling read.
