Book Description

December 24, 2008
Lorenzo Love, or Ren as he's known on the streets, is not your typical veteran detective. He's a smooth-talking, streetwise brother who is quite cunning. He cleverly juggles his home life, which includes his young son and loving wife, a needy mistress, and a narcotics unit of dirty cops that have been taking money under the table from dangerous drug-dealers. Ren has always been crafty at maneuvering his way out of difficult situations. But now his "bad-boy" ways are finally catching up with him. His relationship with his mistress is unraveling, Internal Affairs is investigating his crew for an illegal shooting, and a string of young ladies are brutally murdered one by one with the evidence pointing directly at Ren. The race is on to cover his tracks, clear his crew, and find a serial killer before it's too late. Can Ren slip out of another tight squeeze, or will he finally go down?

The Hands of Love is a fast paced well-crafted novel weaving its way through the crime infested streets of East Dallas. This intense thriller will have your eyes glued to every page right up to the unbelievable ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars What Goes Around, Comes Around, February 21, 2009
This review is from: The Hands of Love (Paperback)
The Hands of Love opens with a powerful descriptor of Det Lorenzo Love. "A man like Ren, with lots of power and little self control can be very dangerous, and you're getting ready to see just how dangerous." The author does show us these qualities and more. Det. Lorenzo Love better known as Ren has always been able to charm with words. Midway through the book he finds himself in a situation he might not recover from. Several women in the Dallas area are found with their hands cut off, throats slashed and poetic messages left in their shoes.

As the police officers try to solve the case Ren is preoccupied with other things; an investigation led by Internal Affairs; the death of a drug killer and a friend's secret that could ruin many lives and a host of characters with an axe to grind.

The Hands of Loveis a thriller that delivers quick dialogue and razor sharp action. The author doesn't waste time with minor details he gets right to the point. Mr. Scott's detail of the Dallas police department mechanics' makes this a believable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The descriptions of the murder scenes had my heart pounding..., May 31, 2010
By 
This review is from: The Hands of Love (Paperback)
Det. Lorenzo Love, leader of the narcotics unit called Ghost Squad, has gotten cocky in his personal and professional life, which leads him down a path of no return. He feels he is invincible, but not by his own fault. His squad follows his directives without questions, and his wife, Nina Love, doesn't have a clue, at least that's what I thought. Nina was a floormat and appeared to be weak and spineless, or was it merely an act?

Scott delivered a capitivating tale of murder, sex, and corruption. The descriptions of the murder scenes had my heart pounding; I was grabbing my body parts as if I was the one being sliced. The words came alive... The characters were so real... The cliffhangers left me reeling. I just knew who the murderer was from the hints and clues but I was so far off. The unveiling of the murderer was apropos, I could not believe it. Assume nothing.

This review is from: The Hands of Love (Paperback)
The book was great! I couldn't put it down, nice ready. However the delivery time was too slow. I ordered the book 3 weeks before my book club meeting and it took 9 days not including weekends before I got it.
