Talk about a bad first day. Major Holly Barker thought she was getting out of a mess when she left the army. She'd been sexually harassed by her superior, but the exigencies of the military legal system wound up wrecking her career. Orchid Beach seemed like the perfect place to start over. Though Chief Marley, an old family friend, was worried about some local increases in the drug trade, the
Florida barrier island was not a crime mecca. As the new deputy police chief, Holly would be stepping on the toes of a few Orchid Beach P.D. regulars who were being
overlooked for the job, but she would prove her worth in short order. After installing her trailer in Riverview, though, the bad news…
I've only recently started reading the Stone Barrington series and was hooked. After reading Reckless Abandon, where Holly Barker came on the scene, and realizing that she was featured in her own… Excellent. We enjoy the works of Stuart Woods very much. Somehow I missed this one, so I had to get it in paperback. After awhile you get to
believing Holly and her dog Daisy are real...
