Dust to Dust

"[Tami Hoag] demonstrates just why she has become one of the hottest names in the suspense game. Bottom line: Leaves competition in the dust."-People Sorry. The single word is written on a mirror. In front of it hangs a Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned tragic? Either way, it wasn‘t murder. At least not according to the powers that be. But veteran homicide detectiveKovac and his wisecracking, ambitious partner, Nikki Liska, think differently. Together they begin to dig at the too-neat edges of the young cop‘s death, uncovering one motive-and one suspect-after another. The cloud of suspicion falls not only on the city‘s elite, but over the very heart of the police department. Someone wants the case closed-quickly and forever. But even with their careers and their lives on the line, neither Kovac nor Liska will give up. As they unearth a connection between a two-month-old murder case and one that has been closed for twenty years, they find themselves chasing a killer who will stop at nothing to keep a dark and shattering secret. "Without a doubt, one of the most intense suspense writers around."-Chicago Tribune "Tami Hoag is the queen of the crime story."-New York Post
