Deadly Virtues

WHEN JUSTICE IS A LIE…

Follow orders. Don't make waves. And always back up your brothers on the force. Rookie police officer Hazel Best knows all the rules to ensure career success. But when law student Jerome Cardy dies in police custody due to a "bureaucratic error," small discrepancies keep nagging at her. So do Jerome's cryptic last words—heard only by Gabriel Ash, a haunted former terrorism expert who happens to have long conversations with his dog.

Gabriel's secrets are as deadly as his unexpected special skills. He's determined to prove Jerome was deliberately murdered, with or without Hazel's help. Someone with a viciously twisted sense of justice is shepherding Gabriel and Hazel toward an unwinnable endgame. And when Hazel runs headlong into a brutal blue wall of corruption and sudden underworld vengeance, she must decide if this case is worth her job—and their lives.
