Everything to Lose

When the daughter of San Francisco socialites Gavin and Sondra Borden is brutally assaulted, Jamie Vail makes it her mission to find the attacker. A seasoned Sex Crimes Inspector with the SFPD, work is what Jamie does best. She isn’t distracted by the fact that her adopted son and the victim go to the same school.

Jamie can almost set aside that the man caught on tape with the victim is a man she’s been wary of for years, her son's biological father. At home, her son is performing poorly in school, becoming more reclusive, and nothing she does can draw him out. Every piece of evidence seems to bring her closer to home.

Desperate to be wrong, Jamie must dig deep before her son lands behind bars, or worse.


My two-bits:

I am starting this series at book 5 which works as a standalone. I think if you read the previous you will have the background knowledge of characters in the Rookie club, but not essential.

This story shows a variety of aspects that surround an assault case through the eyes of different people involved with investigation including the bad guy.

The investigation hits close to home for the main character, Jamie, as she has to figure out why and how her adopted son is connected which creates great curiousity throughout the story.

Loved the San Francisco site references.

About Danielle Girard:
As one of four children, Danielle Girard grew up in a house where the person with the best story got heard, and it's probably no surprise that fast-paced suspense stories have always been her favorite.

Girard's books have won the Barry Award and been selected for the RT Reviewers Choice Award.

Two of her novels have been optioned for movies.

Awards:
Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for CHASING DARKNESS
Barry Award for COLD SILENCE

Winner's Pick Giveaway: Rookie Club series by Danielle Girard

To celebrate the latest release, book 5, Everything to Lose from the Rookie Club series, I have a winner's pick giveaway offer!

Here is your chance to meet one of these extraordinary female cops...

Dead Center
The Rookie Club, Book 1
by Danielle Girard
Amazon | Goodreads

Fifteen years ago, the Rookie Club began as a tight-knit band of female cops struggling for respect from their male peers. Jamie Vail was one of them. So was Natasha Devlin, the woman Jamie caught in bed with her husband.

When Natasha Devlin turns up dead, Jamie wants nothing to do with the investigation. As a seasoned inspector in the sex crimes department, Jamie is facing her own terrifying case—female officers are being brutalized by a stranger leaving no clues. The Rookie Club is under attack, possibly by one of their own.

Now, Jamie must confront her past and solve the murder of her ex-husband's lover before she becomes the killer's ultimate prize.

Now, a seasoned Homicide Inspector and a new widow, Hailey is forced to reopen a case involving two of San Francisco's most powerful residents.

Since her husband's death, Hailey has relied heavily upon her in-laws for help. But when the bodies begin piling up and her father-in-law seems at the center of it all, Hailey must choose between pursuing justice and protecting a secret that could ruin them all.

As Cameron's team works to shut down a human trafficking operation, she witnesses the shooting of a fellow officer. The man holding the gun - her dead lover - very much alive. Caught between the love she still feels for her son's father and doing what she knows is right, Cameron races to unravel her lover's connection to the human traffickers and lands at the department's front door, with her own life on the line.

Seventy-two guns were stolen from a San Francisco police storage facility. Now murders are spiking. The only connection: all the perps claim the stolen guns were anonymously left for them to do with as they pleased.

Mei Ling, now head of the SFPD's Computer Forensics Team, and newest member of The Rookie Club, sees another connection when a network-hacking device is found installed in the storage facility.
Then bullets start crashing through Mei's home, convincing her she's right. Now Mei just needs to find the hacker before becoming the next murder victim.
