Publisher's summary

The search for a missing child leads a courageous railway cop down a twisted trail of murder.

It's been five months since Special Agent Sydney Parnell survived a violent confrontation with a gang of brutal thugs, an encounter that left her physically and emotionally scarred. Deep down, Sydney fears she isn't ready for another investigation. But when a woman is murdered on the train tracks and a child goes missing, she knows she's the only one who can lead the hunt for the killer. While Denver police and the FBI chase down blind alleys, Sydney focuses on a single cryptic clue left behind at the crime scene - one that will send her down a path of greed, violence, and long-ago love.

With Denver beset by a series of monsoonlike thunderstorms that threaten to flood the city, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, must wade through a murky trail of murder that stretches back thirty years - all to rescue a child...and catch a killer with a long memory and an insatiable appetite for destruction.

Good.

Not as good as Blood on the Tracks, but still good. Waiting for the 3rd book in this series.
Good writing and the reading is phenomenal. Please continue to use the same narrator.

A Softening

Really enjoyed the complexity of the storyline. The characters are developing well. The smoothing of rough edges is well done. Tough characters with a tinge of heart.

This series just keeps getting better...

This series just keeps getting better and I’m already craving the next installment. Barbara Nickless writes suspenseful police procedurals. Her characters are well crafted and continue to grow with each installment. Emily Sutton-Smith does a nice job of bringing it all together. I highly recommend this book.
