Micky Knight is a lesbian detective who is a little too proud of her toughness. She takes on the case of Cissy, the daughter of a friend, who is believed to be sexually abused, not knowing that it will lead her on a dangerous and sexual odyssey. In Cissy's sleepless nights, Micky sees echoes of her own past that fuel an obsession to prevent other children from being abused. To discover what has frightened Cissy, Micky becomes caught up in a world where the lives of young girls are treated as commodities. While doing battle with a handful of seedy thugs, Micky confronts her own childhood sexual abuse and tries to hold on to her rocky relationship with Cordelia James, a striking doctor. She travels between the uptown opulence of the Sans Pareil Club, one of the most exclusive of New Orleans private clubs, and a tawdry hole of a bar near the Desire Projects. Evil exists in both places, and the mystery culminates where law and desire intersect.

The intersection of law and desire
Introducing Introspective Mickyâ„¢
The plot. Barely three months after the events of book two, Micky gets caught in another tough situation when she suspects the sexual abuse of a young girl. Trying desperately to save the girl and other kids from suffering the same horrendous fate, Micky soon finds herself having to face her own past demons.
The characters. For a minute I questioned whether this was the same woman I read about in the previous book. Don't get me wrong, I still wanted to dangle her from her little toe over the edge of the Chrysler building but she showed quite a bit of growth in this story. Is our little Micky finally growing up? I sure AF hope so!
The writing. Though I liked the little peek into her relationship with Cordelia in the beginning I found the pace of the narrative a little slow. What immediately snagged my attention however was when Micky was about to get herself into trouble... again. Because of course she can't stay away from dangerous situations too long.
The special. This section of my review always comes back down to 100% Micky. Where in book one I loved her and in book two I couldn't stand her, I don't know how I feel about her right now. She's one of the most complex, interesting and aggravatingly heartbreaking character I've ever had the pleasure of reading about. I certainly understand why this woman who is her own underdog has so many die hard fans.
The negative. This part goes a little without saying but the main story line of this book was incredibly difficult to read. Even though there were thankfully no explicit scenes, I spent a large part of the book reading while being absolutely horrified and disgusted at the pure evilness that some people are capable of.
The verdict. Taking a few days off from reading but once I'm back I will be diving head first into Micky's next (disastrous) adventure. Job well done again Ms. Redmann. Overall rating is a 4,25*
