When Ali Reynolds learns that Jose Reyes—Santa Cruz County deputy sheriff and her former Arizona Police Academy classmate—has been shot and lies near death in the ICU, she rushes to help. At the hospital, Ali meets up with colleague Sister Anselm, a patient advocate for an illegal border crosser—a Jane Doe rape and beating victim, also in ICU. How are these two crimes connected? This tale of the Arizona border area boasts a vivid plot with twists, turns, surprises, and suspense aplenty. There's little character development, but to Jance's fans these guys are old friends.
VERDICT This seventh Ali Reynolds mystery gets a terrific reading by Karen Ziemba; highly recommended. [The Touchstone hc was a New York Times best seller.—Ed.]
