"Terrific investigative tale"
Denver Homicide Detective Bryson Coventry visits attorney
Kelly Parks of Holland, Roberts and Northway LLC to
question her as a killer used his latest victim's cell
phone to call her at her private office line, but being a
Sunday she was not in and he left no message. Bryson
shows her the pictures of young teacher D'endra Vaughn
taken at the crime scene to shake her up before
interrogating Kelly. He believes she is more than just a
link, but the next victim. Kelly tells him she does not
know the deceased, but begins to connect the dots from his
inquiry. Kelly concludes that the homicide is related to the quasi
at best legal situation she and other members of the firm
performed that probably led to a murder herself. Either
way she needs to know the truth and stop an avenging
angel before he kills her. Kelly investigates the one
dark mark on her career at the same time that Bryson digs
deeper and deeper while the killer waits for the moment to
change her listing to dead. NIGHT LAWS is a terrific investigative tale that moves
forward one step and subsequently takes two steps
backwards or sideways as the cop and the lawyer separately
realize that their inquiries prove complicated, complex
and convoluted. The case is conducted along two
serpentine paths that of a police procedural and an
amateur sleuth. However, the reason the story line is so
good and worth reading is the prime cast members
especially the two sleuths seem very real; she filled with
regret and remorse and he with stopping the killer. Jim
Michael Hanson provides a strong thriller that leads the
audience into tracking the culprit alongside of the two
courageous investigators. Harriet Klausner
