Another great book from Rick Mofina. The tragic murder of Sister Anne, a nun whose has dedicated her life to serving those less fortunate, sends the police and Jason Wade on the hunt for her killer.

I like this author
Again Mr Mofina has captured the reader’s attention and kept it throughout the story. Very good plot and read.
A very good story…enjoyed thoroughly…good mixing of human good and evil…dignity and depravity… there is no hope without forgiveness….Thanks.
One of my new favorite authors. Great writing, characters, and a nice twisty plot.
Really like this author.
I enjoyed reading this book. Some character and plot twists and surprises—hinted but not so obvious. The one thing I was not happy about is when things were sorted out at the end, Coop was never given recognition, money, or any opportunity for his contribution to solving the crime—not to mention being falsely arrested and interrogated. Easy reading. Great beach book.
great read
Another great thriller from Rick Mofina. Rookie crime reporter Jason Wade pursues the story of a murdered Seattle nun. I really didn’t like Jason’s editor & wanted to give him a piece of my mind! Having been born & raised in Seattle, I love the local references. I have been following the Jason Wade series and this one ultimately leads to the dark secret that has tormented his ex-cop father for decades and has been reference in previous books. Although three separate stories are going on at the same time, they do all come together and it will take you until the end of the book to figure it all out! It culminates in a life and death struggle against the clock. Now on to read Be Mine.
My only complaint is the bad language, specifically the use of the Lords name in vain
Like always excellent suspense building and great characters
Excellent book! Great read.
I absolutely love Rick Mofina’s books. I will read anything he writes.
