It took me a while to get into this book and to figure out what was going on. I have to admit I never would have guessed who the real bad guy was!!
Biker gangs have a pretty bad reputation--not always deserved if this book is to be believed. Richard Lake is with the Atlanta Police. Moriah Dru used to be a policewoman-but has since left the force and become a P.I. Her employees are unbelievable at ferreting out clues whether legally or illegally. Just as an aside-Richard and Moriah are an "item" but very low key as neither is quite ready to get married (or at least one of them isn't ready)!
Will Moriah and her employees be able to find out the secret of why Juliet Trapp was murdered and where Juliet's father is while exonerating the Biker Gang of any wrong doing? You really have to read this book cause that's all I can tell you! There is something at the end which makes me want to keep reading this series---------------
About the Book: (from The Authors Blog)
Richard Lake of the Atlanta Police Department gets a cold case when a witness suddenly gets his memory back.
Lake recruits Moriah Dru to look into the murder of Juliet Trapp‚ sixteen when she died‚ and a student at Winters Farm Academy.
Juliet Trapp had told her mother she was going to Bike Week with Wild Blood‚ an outlaw motorcycle gang‚ over the Christmas break.
The police were unable to solve Juliet's murder after interviews with the bikers.
The case roars into high gear when Juliet's father‚ Sherman Trapp‚ is murdered in Chattanooga where Wild Blood is the predominant motorcycle club.
Dru discovers that Trapp was trying to find the killer of his daughter‚ but got too close.
Dru and Lake join forces with a wary Wild Blood to solve the murders and clear the club -- if, indeed, everyone in it can be cleared of murder.
COMING JANUARY 21, 2015 (Yup that's today!)
