A routine patrol takes a deadly turn! Joining the New York Police Academy from college with an end game of becoming a detective was an easy sell to Victoria Mattsen. Years earlier, tragedy struck when she lost her father-then later stepfather, and mother at a young age. Maybe they deserved it. Life moved on and she found a new home. But when history repeated itself and her new family perished, it sparked in Vikki a passion for justice and a desire for revenge. But two wrongs don't make a right. Outstanding detectives are molded, not born-forged through years of hard work, dedication to duty, and hands-on experience. Vikki's first week as a rookie police officer changed all that. A routine beat patrol turned deadly. It defined her future and put her on a fast track to earning the skills she'd need to uncover the truth- about what happened to her new family.
