The Haas family murders left a scar on the community nothing can erase, but everyone agrees that convicting the killer, Karl Dahl, is a start. Only Judge Carey Moore seems to be standing in the way. Her ruling that Dahl&#8217;s prior criminal record is inadmissible raises a public outcry&#8212;and puts the judge in grave danger.<br><br>When an unknown assailant attacks Judge Moore in a parking garage, two of Minneapolis&#8217;s top cops are called upon to solve the crime and keep the judge from further harm. Detective Sam Kovac is as hard-boiled as they come, and his wisecracking partner, Nikki Liska, isn&#8217;t far behind. Neither one wants to be on this case, but when Karl Dahl escapes from custody, everything changes, and a seemingly straightforward case cartwheels out of control.<br><br>The stakes go even higher when the judge is kidnapped&#8212;snatched out of her own bed even as the police sit outside, watching her house. Now Kovac and Liska must navigate through a maze of suspects that includes the stepson of a murder victim, a husband with a secret life, and a rogue cop looking for revenge where the justice system failed.<br><br>With no time to spare, the detectives are pulled down a strange dark trail of smoke and mirrors, where no one is who they seem and everyone is guilty of <b>Prior Bad Acts</b>.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 1744878 book 2006 Prior Bad Acts total:957|5:214|4:379|3:311|2:44|1:9| 957 3616 1286 83 84842 055358359X 9780553583595 917 77 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171057561m/84842.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84842.Prior_Bad_Acts 3 0 false Mon May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 09:18:06 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 13:17:20 -0700 2009
