![]() She wants to get Pellegrino to retire so they can slide Sherrill in and set her up. Rose Marie Roux is chief of police, a former state senator, and is up for director for the department of public safety. Carol is her secretary.ĭetective-Sergeant Marcy Sherrill now runs Lucas’ office and part of his life she’ll become the head of Intelligence and a lieutenant. Weather Karkinnen is a surgeon at Hennepin General. ![]() Lucas Davenport is a political appointee as a deputy chief. They’ve destroyed her life, and she will destroy theirs. Until the assassin’s bullet hits the wrong person. She’s fallen in love and is pregnant with Paulo’s baby. I read it several times and am still trying to extrapolate what happened. That last scene with the wedding was incredibly confusing. ![]() Fax machines, thumb drives, instant records access…Īfter Rinker’s threat to take out law enforcement agents’ families, why isn’t Lucas thinking about protection for Weather? One thing that’s been popping up in the back of my mind as I read these mysteries, thrillers, and suspense stories is how the Internet and mobile access has changed how law enforcement operates. She’s ensuring that her team gets good slots that the incoming regime can’t stiff and putting enemies into very exposed positions. There’s a short bit about the main philosophical difference between cops. “Cancún is just like Miami - except in Miami, they speak Spanish.” Manuel relates a line about Cancún that cracked me up: And it drives the FBI agents nuts when he and Martin get into a discussion on clothes. Holding Gene on a drug charge for one joint is ridiculous, a dumb move, and they deserve what they get from Rinker for abusing her brother as they did. You know how hysterical women get over nothin’…*eye roll*… Ah well, it’s all right, they’re just women. Where were the cops when this abuse was going on? And they wonder why women strike out. A very sad one, and another example of why parents need to be licensed! Reading about her childhood, finding out about the abuse Patsy/Dorothy suffered. Nice use of that FBI report to provide Rinker’s back history. And Weather is very grateful for that request from the FBI, lol. When Weather tells him he’s pathetic…Lucas simply agrees with her. Lucas is in the middle of rebuilding his house to accommodate his fiancée and the coming baby, driving everyone nuts. That Porsche of Lucas’ finds him taking guff from the guys, lol. Just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how smart you are in one aspect of your life, you’re gonna do somethin’ dumb in another part. Oh, lord, Malone relates a story about one of the guys she married…oh, man. He’s such a guy, and I couldn’t help laughing. The dating advice Lucas gives Mallard and Malone separately. Lucas finds all sort of useful facts and impresses the heck out of the FBI. Sandford tosses the humor around, and it relieves the tension and horror of what the bad guys are up to. I know this is a serious story with serious mayhem, but it’s fun, too. Rinker is amazing with the different ways she takes her enemies out.
