Detective Duncan Hatcher is sitting in the courtroom waiting to see what's going to happen to Savich and he ends up getting pissed off because the judge Cato Laird declares a mistrial. He's not happy and when his partner Deedee reminds him of the awards ceremony, he really isn't in the mood. She talks him into going and when they get there he makes a beeline for the bar. Across the room he sees a very pretty young woman but, Deedee tells him that she's married. She's married to the judge.
When he leaves, he says something not so nice to her. After getting home and a week or so goes by, they get a call about a shooting in the home of the judge. Duncan doesn't know what to make of it and seeing Elise for the second time doesn't help him. He's very attracted to her but, tried his best to not show it. He lets Deedee take the rains.
He's heading out for a run and Elise shows up at his house. She wants to speak to him. She tries to tell him that she was protecting herself from getting killed by her husband. The judge seems very overly protective of her or is there more there than meets the eye. They do a lot of background checks on her. Duncan just knows he's going to be in a lot of trouble if he can't control his thoughts and feeling about her.
Then, she passes him a note, for him to meet her some place and he lets himself give in to his wanting her. He still isn't sure of what's really going on but, having sex with Elise isn't going to help this case at all.
Later on that night, Elisa disappears from a bridge. Thinking that she might be dead, Duncan is loosing it. The judge isn't happy and makes himself part of trying to find her.
I'll just say this, the ending of this book was something I wasn't expecting. Pick the book up, you might just like it. To be honest, this book would make a great movie.
