Rachel Simmons joins the police department of her small California city expecting to serve her community. But no one prepares her for the kind of service she will be called on to perform – or the price she will have to pay for her values and integrity.
When she witnesses an incident of police corruption – and reports it – she must fight for her life and the safety of her loved ones against a host of unknown enemies.

About the Author:
With a BA in English and 5 years as a photographic model behind her, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg studied criminology.

She lives in California.
From AudioFile:
A young female police officer with a precarious personal life makes a painful choice to fight the corruption that permeates her department. She's finally triumphant, but at a dreadful price. This can't have been an easy book to record. It's often intense and brutal, occasionally moving, never sentimental. Rosenblat achieves an ideal narrative tone: deeply involved but never indulgent or sensational, reflecting perfectly the humane tough-mindedness of the writing. While she's not a mimic who gives each character a highly distinctive sound, all her characters have conviction and individuality. Steadily she guides us through this gritty exploration of a dense web of social and political issues. J.N. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
