The story opens with a homocide simultaneously about to take and taking place in Blyth, California 1985. End Result:  A 5 year old girl hoding a.22 double-barreled derringer, rounds spent.Fastforward 25 years later...Meet Nadine Kozok, former victim turned cop. Adopted by the Kozoks, Nadine is a tough one, with a kick-ass personality and brains to match. Following a series of murders, taking place over a 5 year period, Nadine is pulled unto the case as a Detective, immediately after beating a perp into a coma "Megalite" style. Sanity questioned due to the nature of the "Widowmakers" killings, Nadine is allowed to remain on the case under Sheba Johnstone's recommendation and the partnerning to one of the oldest and smartest Detectives, Johnny "Vance" Vancetti.As the investigation continues, a change in the "Widowmakers" pattern occcurs, due to the involvement of two serial rapists who happen to target a woman with direct ties to the Widowsmakers intended target, Vito.The story follows several POV's that all add to the development of the story and it's characters,  providing the reader with a well rounded gritty suspensful experience. Sure it was a bit cliche but still left me reeling. Confirmations still shock as much as those who make the initial connections to a story. I will say, that the ending left me feeling...well very mixed. It made me angry and made me say "Seriously?!,That's so stupid", but I suppose that just added to it's greatness. Although, I doubt it will have a continuation, one can hope. Really great set of characters. Would be a shame if they never get revisted.
