| Fifteen years ago Zeke Carfi was imprisoned for armed robbery. In the process he shot his partner who wanted to kill the bank manager. It looks like the past may be interfering in the life of his daughter Amber a Falcon's Bend police officer. Someone has been breaking into her home. Perhaps they're looking for the diary and maps she received after her father went to jail. She and her partner Warren Jensen can't find any clues in the items except an odd key that reminds Amber of a globe puzzle she and her father had talked about making. It seems someone may be searching for a clue to hidden valuables. And they don't care who gets hurt in the process.
Karen Wiesner and Chris Spindler continue this well done series of mysteries with another great one. Amber Carfi and Warren Jensen take center stage this time. Their fledgling romance can't seem to get off the ground. Not many of us would want to have a criminal element adding life and death struggles that help goad us along in our relationships. For Amber and Warren it seems like that's what it takes before they can admit their feelings for one another. Part of the draw of this great series is that the characters go through some of the same upheavals in their lives as the reader. Like regular human being everywhere they compartmentalize their own problems into a private space to deal with when the needs of others isn't at the forefront of their lives. This series is as addictive as your favorite TV show! The officers of the police force and the town has grown on me more with each story. I sincerely hope Mss. Wiesner and Spindler will continue to dream up more villains for these characters to handle so the books can continue for a long time.
