Annalisa Vega is back in the second of Schaffhausen\u2019s series, looking at the inner life of a troubled Chicago PD detective. In the first book, Gone for Good<\/em>, Annalisa pursued the killer of a family friend, ultimately finding uncomfortable truths far too close to home. (No spoilers!\u2014you don\u2019t have to read the first book to enjoy this one, but it\u2019s well worth the read while you wait for book 2). Now, the detective is still partnered at work with her ex-husband-with-benefits, Nick, and doing her own sort of time as other cops give her the cold shoulder for fighting against crookedness within the force. The book opens with a headscratcher for Annalisa and Nick. Not only is a successful officer (who has perhaps too nice a home and car for his salary) shot dead in his bed while his wife is untouched, she claims that the killer was \u201ca frogman,\u201d a murderer wearing a scuba-diving suit. What follows is a look at Annalisa\u2019s life as someone who can\u2019t let things go\u2014bad enough when it\u2019s Nick, much worse when she\u2019s ordered off cases and still won\u2019t stop. Schaffhausen again weaves family dynamics, terrible decisions, and long-festering secrets with love and bitter regret to create a riveting story<\/strong>. The delightfully exasperating main character and cast are a bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
