Illusion of Truth
Hunter becomes the hunted
Sacramento Detective Emily Hunter is exposed to inhumanity on a daily basis— it' s the unfortunate baggage that comes with police work, and she' s mostly learned how to shoulder the load. But it all turns personal when her fellow cop and boyfriend, Brian Conner, is caught in the blast of a targeted church bombing.
Brian is gravely injured, suffering a traumatic brain injury. But the attacks don' t stop there— soon, more officers come under fire, and Emily searches for a connection. She and her partner, Javier Medina, discover that Brian and the other injured officers share a common past— a past that now has them targeted for payback.
Battling with heartbreak, Emily has to identify who' s responsible for the string of attacks and stop them before there are more casualties. Will Brian ever be the same again? Already grappling with her mother' s progressing Alzheimer' s, Emily can' t bear the thought of losing both of the people she loves most.
Though it feels impossible, Emily must stay focused on finding the criminals who uprooted her life— and making sure that justice is served.
Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Michael Connelly
