“Violence is swarming in Charlotte, and Deputy Chief Virginia West has a mood to match. Another out-of-town businessman has been found murdered in his hire car, a wise-ass detective has taken her parking slot, the new police headquarters still resembles a construction site and her boss is telling her to go out on patrol as escort to a reporter. To Virginia the press is the enemy and her first encounter with Andy Brazil – lounging in her office taking notes while she was on the phone – raises her blood pressure as high as the headquarters of the USBank Corporate Centre, which houses a whole bunch of other enemies.”
