Publisher's summary

In this long-awaited new installment of the legendary Kate Delafield mystery series, Kate is forced to confront her most formidable opponent: herself. Kate Delafield is in a world of trouble. Five months into mandated retirement from the LAPD, her long term on-again off-again relationship with Aimee Grant is off again. She's become hopelessly dependent on the only substance that can drown her pain over Aimee - and the illness of her best friend. She is lost without her police career and beset by terrifying dreams. Into this world walks Captain Carolina Walcott of the LAPD, with a request that Kate secretly try to locate Kate's former police partner, Joe Cameron, who has vanished. She also offers Kate a business card - the name on it a woman from Kate's past who may be able to offer a lifeline back to the self Kate once was.

As she deals with a shocking and inexplicable homicide, Kate also pursues a trail of evidence toward Cameron that leads her into the high desert. Here she will find profound challenges to the truth of everything she ever believed in as a principled police officer. Here she must decide what it is she still believes: about her past, her present, her future.

Kate has been missed

Good story, good narration. I loved this series when I could find some of them. It was wonderful to see this new installment. Please consider adding the prior stores to Audible. We need more than just romance. Kiddos, this is a real (and hot) women.

Love this series!

The Kate Delafield series is now one of my favorites. This is the last in the series (to date) and the first audio. I enjoy Katherine V. Forrest as an author and was impressed by some of the reviews. Of course I had to read the first 8 in the series before I could do this audio. After reading the rest of the series I was concerned that I wouldn’t like the audio. I am not familiar with this narrator. But I went ahead and, wow!! Great book all the way around, and the narrator did the characters justice!! I didn’t “hear” the Amiee voice the same, but otherwise found the narration to be perfect. Well done! Great pairing! Highly recommend this series!

Kate Delafield mystery series.

Newly retired from the LAPD is depressed, drinking too much, mourning the coming death of her best friend and the breakup with her long term relationship with Aimee Grant. Drawn back investigate the disappearance of her LAPD partner, Joe Cameron. A thrilling mystery and story of love, loss and healing. Great listen.
