Description

When a governor’s ambitious plan to curb speeding turns into a public-relations disaster, the resulting chaos threatens to ignite an unlikely conflict between Virginia and Tangier Island. Police Chief Judy Hammer and reporter-turned-law-enforcement officer Andy Brazil must work to restore order as political maneuvering, local rivalries, and mounting tensions complicate the case. Set against the distinctive landscape and culture of coastal Virginia, this fast-paced crime novel explores authority, media influence, community identity, and the unpredictable consequences of reform. Patricia Cornwell combines sharp social observation with suspense and vividly drawn characters in this installment of the Judy Hammer and Andy Brazil series.
