Parting Shot

    When this call could cost her dearest treasure, Police Detective Magnum Schultz
can'tt afford to make a mistake.
    A fourteen-year-old boy. His grandfather's .44 Smith & Wesson. A middle school filled
with terrified students—including the detective's own daughter.
    The boy has endured his last humiliation, and he's determined that no one will ever
torment him again. For Magnum, what begins as a desperate race to prevent tragedy
leads toward something even darker: a predator grooming teenage football players and
hiding in plain sight.
    But crime doesn't wait its turn.
    As Magnum hunts a sexual predator, another family's history of domestic violence
spirals toward a horrifying act of brutality, with the couple's five-year-old child caught in the crossfire.
    Between dangerous pursuits on snow-covered roads, desperate foot chases across
treacherous ice, and cases that refuse to stay neatly separated, Magnum is pushed to
her limits.
    And limits have never been her strong suit.
    In a world where too often the innocent pay for the sins of others, how far will one
determined detective go to protect them?
