Special Detective Marshall ³Mars² Bahr has served many years on the Minneapolis Police Department. In time it has cost him dearly. He is a rare breed of cop that lives alone having received an amicable divorce from his wife. He does not drink and the most important thing for him to do on his days off is spend time with his precocious 8 year old son Chris.

On one of his Sundays with Chris, Mars is called out to a crime scene involving the murder of a young girl in her late teens. The body is found on the footpaths near an old mill in a rough section of town.

It would be assumed that the girl dies of a drug overdose or a date gone bad until the identity of the young girl is known. She is Mary Pat Fitzgerald, her father a well-known doctor, she comes from the more influential section of town.

So how did Mary Pat, former homecoming queen wind of dead on the wrong side of town? There are no obvious clues, no motives and no suspects. The town is crying out for answers and Marshall must find them.

The side stories that go on in this book becomes almost as important as the main story. We have a college student hooked on drugs, an apathetic little rich girl with an attitude, Marshallıs cute young son Chris with a passion for cooking and shopping yard sales. All make for a wonderfully engrossing book. This is one that had several sharp twists at the end but I still did not want it to end.

I would love to see KJ Erickson make Marshall Bahr a continuing character in other books. After all we need to see how Chrisıs cooking career turns out and if Marshall ever finds true love again?
