SLIPPING (A Maxine Jonas Crime Thriller Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A crime like no other... Detroit, Michigan. The rainy winter has been harsh and prolonged for this industrial town where the death toll climbs at night. But for Homicide Detective Maxine Jonas, murder holds an unlikely appeal. Motor City is her town and she knows how to work the streets to solve a case. Perhaps a little too well… A brassy woman who'll drink you under the table at any hour, Maxine is put on temporary leave from the force to straighten herself out, spend time with her dying mother, and otherwise get her affairs in order. One night after returning home, she hears her cell phone ringing from down the hall. Unnerved that her cell wasn't on her, she follows the sound into her laundry room where she discovers a dead body. The man has been butchered. Disturbing words have been carved into his flesh. And the call is coming from her desk at the 12th Precinct. There's a killer out there and he's pulling Max into his sick game. As the case unfolds, evidence keeps turning up all around her. The killer is sucking her in, framing her more tightly day by day, until Max becomes the prime suspect. There's only one way to clear her name. She must find the killer. The hunt leads her deep into her dark past. Soon she understands that untangling herself from the game could cost her. And the price is her life.
