Joe Peters, begins to doubt the evidence against Kitty. He is near the end of a failed marriage and reluctantly approaching retirement. He believes Kitty is innocent and finds himself falling in love with her. Joe begins to peel back the complex layers in the conspiracy of silence while his feelings for Kitty become an obsession...putting his career in jeopardy. christinejoseph | Jul 27, 2015 | I was struck by how dated this novel is. Most police procedurals written in the last 20 years are forensically driven and this novel barely mentions forensic evidence. I enjoyed this very much. It's one of the Keating 100 novels that didn't disappoint (  )1  Bjace | Oct 13, 2013 |  Ann_Louise | May 26, 2008 | sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A New York Times bestseller from the author of Policewoman and Law and Order: A story of a housewife with a secret--and a cop with an obsession. In a peaceful, residential section of Queens, all hell is about to break loose. Kitty Keeler's children have gone missing. Both she and her estranged husband say they have no idea where they are. Then the bodies are found--the youngest was strangled to death and the other was shot in the back of the head. A media frenzy ensues . . . While there's plenty of evidence against Kitty, NYPD sergeant Joe Peters believes she's innocent and vows to uncover the truth. Soon, he finds himself falling in love with her, a love that quickly becomes an obsession. And it's feelings like those that could get a man into trouble.
