This excerpt looks like it's setting up a fast-moving police procedural/thriller. We're dropped right into the action in Chapter 1, so La Plante doesn't waste any time kicking the plot right into high gear.

The only thing that makes me reluctant to try this book is that it's marked as #5 in a series. (Like most readers, typically, I'd pick up #1-4 before reading #5.) From this excerpt, I don't have a clear indication as to whether this works as a stand-alone read.

It would probably be wiser to exclude books that aren't first in a series from these giveaways. (I hope this book gets updated cover art before publication, too--this version looks like it belongs in another decade!)
