    About this audiobook

    The green-eyed daughter of a Cuban patriot killed by Castro's firing squad; she has a tender spot for the city's underdogs, but is smart and tough enough to pursue a story no matter where it takes her. When cops on the midnight shift chase a black motorist, the fleeing man, a professional football hero, winds up dead. Britt's investigation reveals the tragic truth. As the city she loves explodes into a major riot, Britt is caught up in life-threatening events that bring about a shocking climax.

      I've read her better works. This one is intriguing, the story explains the condition of Miami journalists (the author being a former crime reporter), most especially female journalists - worse, those who're working at night. It was quite an eye-opener and somewhere along the pages I felt like watching a documentary about journalists, having a soft spot for them since I'm a journalism graduate myself. There is the mystery which Britt was trying to uncover and she deals with cops since that's her assignment. In real life the line between being a journalist and a vigilante is very thin one might not distinguish it from another. Her heroine Britt Montero is comparable to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, but the latter is way better and funnier. Mystery, action, suspense and a little comedy is rolled into this novel; but sadly I wasn't eager to read it to finish it in a trice. Britt is There were dragging parts and I prefer her stand alone novels.
