5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Non-Stop Action, January 19, 1998
By A Customer
I am a fan of Mary Higgens Clark and found this novel to rival her best. It was suspensful, fast paced and full of surprises. I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars steamy suspense, characters that stay with you long after, October 28, 1996
By A Customer
Better than Grisham. Think Scott Turow meets Sue Grafton. This female attorney author pulls no punches. Miami, the setting, is as much a character as the likeable and tormented Sam Hagen, state prosecutor who has recently lost his only son. I loved this book! Went out and got all the rest of her novels after this. A must-have if you like lawyer thrillers. Maybe a must-have if you just like well-written books about real human beings in trouble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast moving plot but unlikeable characters, November 20, 2004
By 
I *like* books where I can identify with or like someone, hopefully one of the lead characters. This book was a problem for me in that area. Well, not every character was unlikeable. There was a 14 year old girl who was OK, and a policeman, but other than that? The "good" people were only a bit better than the "bad." If this is South Beach, I'm glad I don't live there!

The plot involves a young model who is gang-raped in a South Beach club. She wants to see these guys go to jail, but there are political and economic forces that would sweep it all under the carpet. The state's attorney, Sam Hagen, is asked to handle the case although he is still grieving the recent death of his 19 year old son, who got caught up in the fast life of South Beach and the clubs himself. He has wife and ex-girlfriend problems as well. And the exgirlfriend has romantic problems of her own. People connected in some way to the rape start getting murdered. Did I mention there are a lot of characters? But this isn't one of those books where you can't keep track of everyone -- although all the subplots get complicated.

In the end, I had a lot of problems with the way that Sam deals with a difficult situation. It's ironic that although he is the "good" guy, he seems morally challenged to me.

But I gave this book 4 stars because it's fairly well written and moves right along.
