Publisher's Synopsis
As the Brickhearst, Florida Police Force endures the shame and trepidation of a department under siege; three shifts of patrol officers find themselves confronting an adversary far more dangerous than the predators that haunt the forlorn streets on the wrong side of the tracks. These exceptional beat cops are challenged by the fear and insecurities that threaten to destroy them from within. CRIES IN THE NIGHT: While endeavoring to bring an end to a debilitating rash of child abductions, LT. Katherine Gregory is assigned to temper the mindless antics of an impetuous patrolwoman named Katrina Samson. Regrettably, before the veteran crime fighter can thwart disaster, Samson makes a mistake that could ruin both their careers. DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE: When they attempt to track down a barbarous serial killer, Sgt. Frank Simpson and Officer Mike Duffy encounter a teenage con artist who has lost her memory. As the devoted flatfoots make every effort to keep the girl safe, they soon learn the slayer's intentions pale in comparison to the tribulation her mother will soon inflict upon her. BELOVED ENEMIES: Amid an atmosphere of vindictive accusations and political headhunting, LT. Bess Watson sets out to solve the brutal murders of two high school students. Throughout the course of her investigation, the evidence points to the nephew of her former mentor. Unwilling to believe the aspiring detective is capable of such an act, Watson eventually learns the truth is more devastating than anyone could have imagined.
