A Detroit crime reporter goes up against a powerful mob boss—and her own painful past—in this "exciting and gritty" thriller (Kirkus Reviews).
Scarred by a traumatic event in her childhood, Julia Gooden has learned to juggle different lives. A successful Detroit journalist, she covers the worst crimes in the city while raising her two young boys in the suburbs. Her marriage is also a balancing act. As she tries to reconnect with her husband, Assistant District Attorney David Tanner, she must also maintain professional boundaries.

David is about to bring crime boss Nick Rossi to trial on charges that include drug trafficking, illegal gambling, and bribery. But the story becomes much more urgent when a courthouse bomb claims several victims—including the prosecution's key witness—and leaves David critically injured.
Though Julia is certain that Rossi orchestrated the attack, the case against him is collapsing. With the help of Detroit Detective Raymond Navarro, she follows a trail of blackmail, payback, and political ambition. Julia has risked her career before, but this time innocent lives—including her children's—hang in the balance. And justice may come too late to save what truly matters.

      Haseldine’s absorbing if unrealistic sequel to 2016’s The Last Time She Saw Him finds crime reporter Julia Gooden living in Rochester Hills, a Detroit suburb, with her husband, ADA David Tanner, after a separation. While working the Detroit beat, Julia is assigned, against all the rules, to a case in which David is the prosecutor. Mob boss Nick Rossi has been caught on camera in a hotel suite making payoffs to a former Detroit mayor. Julia wants to reveal the identity of a key witness before Rossi goes to trial, but David warns her that if she does so, the witness is sure to be killed. Julia doesn’t betray David’s trust, but that doesn’t prevent a bomber from blowing up the courthouse, killing the witness and injuring David. Never mind the story’s improbabilities; what matters are the duplicities practiced by the characters, not least Julia herself, who pretends she doesn’t feel a thing anymore for her handsome, charismatic, save-the-day ex-boyfriend, Det. Raymond Navarro, who figures prominently at the thrilling climax. Agent: Priya Doraswamy, Lotus Lane Literary.
