his heavy Magnum boots, Jamie Anderson tenses up. Then comes the call
she has always dreaded: There's been a shooting at police headquarters.
Mike isn't hurt, but his long-time partner is grievously injured. As
weeks pass and her husband's insomnia and disconnectedness mount, Jamie
realizes he is an invisible casualty of the attack. Then the phone rings
again. Another shooting--but this time Mike has pulled the trigger. But
the shooting does more than just alter Jamie's world. It's about to
change everything for two other women. Christie Simmons, Mike's
flamboyant ex, sees the tragedy as an opportunity for a second chance
with Mike. And Jamie's younger sister, Lou, must face her own losses to
help the big sister who raised her. As the press descends and public
cries of police brutality swell, Jamie tries desperately to hold
together her family, no matter what it takes. In her characteristic
exploration of true-to-life relationships, Sarah Pekkanen has written a
complex, compelling, and openhearted novel--her best yet.
