Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The 11th Deb Ralston story (following Inherited Murder) is an exciting procedural that balances Deb's family life and her work as a Fort Worth, Tex., police detective. While Deb and her husband celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at a huge new nightclub, a cable breaks during the floor show and a trapeeze acrobat falls from a gilded cage to her death. The victim, from a long line of circus performers, had no apparent enemies, so Deb focuses her investigation on the extortion threats received by the restaurant owner. Then, as each new lead dead-ends, Deb, aided by her computer-whiz husband, turns to the Internet for clues. A breathless, high-flying climax caps this lively tale of a hard-working, risk-taking mom.

From Library Journal

Martin brings back her long-running series protagonist Deb Ralston, a Fort Worth detective, who, with her husband, witnesses the murder of a flying trapeze artist. The search for motive necessitates digging into the background of a passionate circus family. Another winner.
