Crisis Shot (The Line of Duty #1)
Tess O'Rourke dreams of becoming the first female chief of
police in Long Beach, California. As commander of the East
Division, she is well on her way . . . until the night she responds to an
officer-needs-assistance call and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager. Despite
being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury, Tess is so hounded by the public
that she takes a job in Oregon
to escape the bad press.
Winning over the residents of Rogue's Hollow might be more difficult than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town. Especially when her closest friend, the pastor's wife, goes missing and the woman's cousin is found shot. Tess finds an ally in sheriff's deputy Steve Logan, but as they track down Rogue's Hollow's first murderer, she worries that she's breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him.
MY REVIEW: Author Janice Cantore’s many years in
law enforcement add great authenticity and an insider’s eye for detail to her
storytelling. “Crisis Shot”, Book One in her “The Line of Duty” series is a compelling
romantic suspense tale featuring an appealing heroine. When a tragedy in the
line of duty ends Tess O’Rourke’s dream of becoming the first female chief of
police in Long Beach, California, she relocates to the small town of Rogue’s
Hollow, Oregon. Serving as chief of police of the small community is an
adjustment to say the least, but small towns often have big secrets which lead
to big trouble, and Tess soon has her hands full of problems. She finds a
friend in sheriff’s deputy Steve Logan, and he proves to be a much-needed ally
with finding a missing person and solving a murder. Tess has always had her own
rules regarding not becoming involved with someone with whom she works. Will
she break the rules this time? Faith, courage, and a dedication to law
enforcement, along with trust, will be needed to bring all matters to right—can
Tess and Steve find the strength of conviction to see justice served? I highly
recommend other works and series by Janice Cantore.
