In this taut thriller, rookie police officer Trish Robinson confronts a team of hired killers at an isolated mansion.  With her partner murdered and hostages, incuding a fifteen year old girl, in jeopardy, she relies on her training and instincts.  Driven by a childhood trauma, she forges a bond with the young girl and risks death in her battle with the ruthless and resourceful killers.This book is fast paced and exiciting.  Trish is a fighter and a worthy opponent.  The killers revel in their ruthlessness and I was glad that there was no attempt to mitigate their badness. Even Lillith, child sex victim and adult sadist, is irredeemable.  There is no moral equivacation.  Even though I figured out who all the bad people were quite early on, it still was a fun read.  The Trish/Cain connection was not terribly convincing but there is nothing wrong with a little lsuspension of belief.  All in all, a fast paced thriller,well worth the read.
