The Broken Promise Land (Sharon McCone Series #16) Book

Private investigator Sharon McCone is in the thick of things again, but this time there is a heightened tension as the case involves her family. Her famous brother-in-law, country singer Rickie Savage has been getting threatening notes and faxes, and they target not only him but also his wife and children.

Worse still, his marriage is on the skids, so that their security is that much more difficult even with the involvement of McCone's love interest and his security firm.

While Hy Ripinsky and his team from his firm go into overdrive to keep the country singer safe and secure while beginning a new concert tour, the investigation into who is threatening Savage and why falls to McCone. But first she has to find out some things about her brother-in-law that is even more damaging than the usual drinking, drugs and casual sex for a musical star.

This seems to be a far more complicated story that Muller's past but she keeps her writing focused on the story line and it shows in the driving rhythm of the story and the building suspense as time begins to grow short and McCone seems to be coming up with very little in the way of solutions. Strong story and good dialogue result in an unstoppable, hard-to-put-down story where the answers take long to come together but when they do, its heart stopping.
