A young woman is found brutally murdered, and the main suspect is the victim’s fiancé, a hideously scarred Iraq War vet known as the Burned Man. But railroad police Special Agent Sydney Rose Parnell, brought in by the Denver Major Crimes unit to help investigate, can't shake the feeling that larger forces are behind this apparent crime of passion.http://amzn.to/2zUlQyq

In the depths of an icy winter, Parnell and her K9 partner, Clyde―both haunted by their time in Iraq―descend into the underground world of a savage gang of rail riders. There, they uncover a wide-reaching conspiracy and a series of shocking crimes. Crimes that threaten everything Parnell holds dear.

As the search for the truth puts her directly in the path of the killer, Parnell must struggle with a deadly question: Can she fight monsters without becoming one herself?

This is an excellent detective thriller. I read at night before falling asleep and usually get about 15 minutes before being hit by my falling Kindle. Not so with this novel--I often had to consciously call it quits to keep from staying up too late! Ms. Nickless has a nice knack for keeping he reader off balance with twists that are completely plausible and completely unexpected. I'll look for more from her.http://amzn.to/2zUlQyq
