Description: "A police lieutenant with the elite "Red Dogs" until she retired at twenty-nine, Aud Torvingen is a rangy six-footer with eyes the color of cement and a tendency to hurt people who get in her way. Born in Norway into the failed marriage between a Scandinavian diplomat and an American businessman, she now makes Atlanta her home, luxuriating in the lush heat and brashness of the New South.".

"On a humid April evening between storms, out walking just to stay sharp, she turns a corner and collides with a running woman. Catching the scent of clean, rain-soaked hair, Aud nods and silently tells the stranger Today, you are lucky, and moves on - when behind her a house explodes, incinerating its sole occupant, a renowned art historian. When Aud turns back, the woman is gone.".

"But Julia Lyons-Bennet will return seeking Aud's help and protection from a deadly international game of forgery, drugs, money and murder."--BOOK JACKET.
