When a deadly bomb goes off during a climate change debate, librarian and event coordinator Jackie Santoro becomes the prime suspect. Her motive, according to Detective Avery Wick: to avenge the suicide of her prominent father, who was accused of crimes by a city councilman attending the event.
Though Avery has doubts about Jackie’s guilt, he can’t exonerate her even after an extremist group takes responsibility for the bombing and continues to attack San Antonio’s treasured public spaces.
As Jackie tries to hold her shattered family together, she has no choice but to proceed with plans for the Caterina Ball, the library system’s biggest annual fundraiser. But she also fears the event provides the perfect opportunity for the bomber to strike again.
Despite their mistrust, Jackie and Avery join forces to unmask the truth—before the death toll mounts even higher.
This was a great mystery and left me guessing until the very end of the book. Jackie is caught in an explosion that costs her the life of one of her best friends. The culprit demands all city officials resign. Well of course they don't so there are more explosions. Jackie is the one planning the biggest event of the season, the Caterina Ball. That is threatened also. As Jackie and Avery work together to try to find the person responsible they become more than just acquaintances.
I would not class this as a Christian book. There's only a few refences of any thing related to Christianity. Avery is noted throughout the book as spewing obscenities.
I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in anyway.
