From Anne Cleeland comes the first in a captivating new mystery series, following the perilous exploits of two Scotland Yard detectives as they track down London's most elusive killer. . . First-year detective Kathleen Doyle and Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton, are a most unlikely pair. An Irish redhead of humble beginnings and modest means, Doyle is the antithesis of Acton, the British lord who has established himself as a brilliant but enigmatic figure with a knack for solving London's most high profile homicides. But Acton senses something exceptional beneath Doyle's awkward naivete and taps her to help him with his investigations. And her spot-on intuition is just what he needs to solve a chilling string of murders. . .

When a horse trainer is found dead at a racetrack, Doyle and Acton begin interviewing witnesses and the victim's associates, but the killer continues to strike and they're left with more questions than answers. Their investigation is further muddled by their colleagues at CID Headquarters, whose career-driven jealousies and workplace blunders could jeopardize the case--and their nosing into the nature of Doyle and Acton's after hours relationship could lay bare the most classified information of all. . .

Perhaps the trainer was the target of a jilted lover on a killing spree. Or maybe the victims were collateral damage in a political coup gone awry. As the murders pile up, Doyle and Acton uncover something far more sadistic than they could have imagined, and now that they know too much, they'll find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of a cold-blooded killer. . .

Nem vou falar para não dizer nada…..

Que livro esquisito, sequer acho que exista um gênero literário que o defina, seria uma mistura de Sabrina com policial? Livro “meio” hot com investigação criminal? Nada contra Sabrina, eu gosto inclusive, mas meu cérebro não conseguiu acompanhar essas mudanças de gênero de um parágrafo para outro, ou até no mesmo parágrafo: os protagonistas com tes@o em uma cena de crime com a vítima com a cabeça estourada? Kkkkkkkkk bizarro!
Sei lá, só sei que para mim não combinou nada com coisa nenhuma. Nada soa verdadeiro nessa trama, e embora a parte do crime em si não fosse tão mal feito, conseguiu ficar ofuscado pelos pééééssimos personagens.
