Brigid Quinn is a retired FBI agent, recently married and
living the life of her dreams in the Arizona desert. And then a man confesses to a series of
crimes, an old case that Brigid worked but never solved and where she lost her
rookie partner whose body has yet to be found. The killer has agreed to
disclose the location of the body in exchange for life imprisonment rather than
the death penalty. When the current FBI agent on the case tells Brigid she
believes the confession is fake, Brigid is drawn back to the life in a big and
not entirely sanctioned way.
Did I mention she is fifty-nine, white haired and married to
an ex Catholic priest?
Brigid Quinn is one of the most engaging, and believable, tough
and determined, needy and self- sufficient and just plain plucky protagonists
that I’ve come across in a long, long time. She doesn’t give up, she does what
has to be done and worries about the consequences later. I cannot wait until
the next installment, it was that good.
