-Brooklyn's toughest female detective takes on Dallas in this "violent, sexy, and completely absorbing" Edgar Award nominee, the first novel in the acclaimed Betty Rhyzyhk series (Kirkus Reviews). -One of the Best Books of the Year - Dallas Observer, BookRiot "One of the most breathless, inventive, and be forewarned, violent suspense plots I've read in a long time."―Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "Exciting [and] moving . . . Grisly but likable"―Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "Terrific . . . Kent's own ability to avoid predictable outcomes and keep the reader on edge bodes well for future installments in this series."―Lloyd Sachs, Chicago Tribune "The plot revolves around the Asian sex- and drug-trafficking trade run by the cutest little old lady you ever did see, but the broader appeal is Kent's offbeat humor, which pulls up reins just before it takes the story over a cliff."―Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
