One Life Gone
By Vicki C Lee
Special Agent Ricki James has a personal stake in solving a murder, and an old score to settle, in this gripping, suspense-filled mystery thriller.
Digging up secrets might get her buried with them.
It’s been eighteen months since Special Agent Ricki James was shot and her partner killed, in an ambush during a routine prisoner transport. Despite recurring nightmares, Ricki has slowly pulled the pieces of her life back together and is wearing the badge once more. She’s already solved several tough cases but now things have settled down and she is enjoying some much-deserved breathing space. . . until a second agent is found dead, with a bullet in his side.
Ricki can’t ignore the strong connection between the two murders, so she finagles her way onto the case despite the ambush occurring out of her district. The murdered agent and her former partner both deserve justice, and she’s determined to unearth the truth no matter what it is, or whom it might lead to.
Before she realizes it she's knee-deep in a tangled web of conspiracy and murder. Now her life on the line as she is forced to confront the real meaning of trust and betrayal.
