The book began with a gut-wrenching murder that grasped the reader's attention from the very first page and never let go. I like Clyde Phillips and will be anxiously waiting for future books from this author. This book holds all the action and psychological suspense of books written by James Patterson. Readers of BLINDSIDED will be obsessed to read Clyde Phillips' previous novels. However, it is the humanization of the characters, who grow as they learn from their errors, that turns this thriller into a mega-chiller. Phillips' magically switches locales in an effortlessly manner that actually propels the plot forward. The taut story line with its switching locations and superb characterizations are so well written, it will blind-side the sub-genre by turning it into a new direction.

Though they jeopardize their lives doing their job, Jane and Kenny know they must stop the culprit before another person is found dead. Neither Jane, in charge of the case, nor Kenny has any idea who the perpetrator is or why he is killing cops and former cops. By the third murder, the police conclude a serial killer has targeted them for termination. Jacques plans vengeance on specific members of the SFPD.

Back on the street, Jacques has a personal agenda to complete. The killer Jacques Carpentier served fifteen years of hard time. However, the relationship between Jane and Kenny goes way beyond that of comrades in arms They are lovers and the day they move in together, the brass assigns them to investigate the brutal murder of a former cop turned druggie. At times, they may perform heroic acts, but like most police officers, the couple recognizes they are just performing their jobs as members of a unique club linked by the danger of their occupation.
