Once upon a time, the Grimms’ fairy tales taught lessons. Now, the Grimm Reaper does.

New detective Chelsea Sullivan is partnered with a maverick famous for closing cases and infamous for how he does it. He has a target on his back and a chip on his shoulder. Not exactly how she hoped to kick off her first homicide case.

Jim McPherson doesn’t mind showing an up-and-comer the ropes, but he does mind when she keeps putting herself in harm’s way. Especially since her innocence is exactly the trait the serial seems to be targeting. Unless they’re missing a crucial detail. And he can’t help but think his new partner knows what it is.

He has no idea she fears her father might be the murderer.

The body count is rising and the Grimm Reaper is after Chelsea. If they can’t catch him before he catches her, there will be no happily ever after.

A very gripping and intense story…. Cozy Mystery Book Reviews

Excellent storytelling and strong characterization rocket this book to the top…. Stephen D. Reeves

Birmingham, Alabama, 1922. Prohibition has its grip on the bustling city. Corruption is rife and remaining an honest man of the law takes tenacity in the face of rampant greed. Strait-laced Bureau of Investigation officer Francis Laurent does his job and does it morally. When crooked officers gun down his partner and closest friend August Day in cold blood, Laurent vows to exact revenge on those responsible. As Laurent delves into Day’s murder, he discovers the corruption runs deeper than he ever suspected. It is time to act, but the system is rotten, and Laurent must get to the source, purging as he goes.
Laurent’s gripping tale of revenge and redemption is revealed through the eyes of his estranged daughter, Raina, who is no stranger to the desire for justice. Plenty of demon’s haunt Raina, and she is no stranger to playing judge, jury and…executioner.
