Publisher's summary

Former homicide cop turned private investigator Cass Raines gets the job done in this Chicago-set novel from award-winning author Tracy Clark.

Chicago in the dead of winter can be brutal, especially when you're scouring the frigid streets for a missing girl. Fifteen-year-old Ramona Titus has run away from her foster home. Her biological mother, Leesa Evans, is a recovering addict who admits she failed Ramona often in the past. But now she's clean. And she's determined to make up for her mistakes - if Cass can only help her find her daughter.

Cass visits Ramona's foster mother, Deloris Poole, who is also desperate to bring the girl home. Ramona came to Deloris six months ago, angry and distrustful, but was slowly opening up. The police are on the search, but Cass has sources closer to the streets, and a network of savvy allies. Yet it seems Ramona doesn't want to be found. And Cass soon begins to understand why.

Ramona is holding secrets dark enough to kill for, and anyone who helps her may be fair game. And if Ramona can't run fast enough and hide well enough to keep the truth safe, she and Cass may both be out of time.

Love Me Some Cass Raines

Cass Raines has become a fast favorite. I find her no nonsense and directness to be refreshing. I love how she carries and handles herself as Black female lead. Tracy’s engaging storytelling keeps you guessing and wanting more. Now I need to know what Whip has gotten himself into and how Cass, Barb, and Pouch are going to help him.

Cassie's time

I love mysteries and dramas. The writer, reader both are women and she is a heroine. Yeah, female power!

Please give me another

I’m going to put the review here on the last available in the series but I suggest you start with book one. This is a wonderful series complex storyline fantastic character development, spectacular narrator. Whenever I come to the end of a good series, I feel like I’ve lost a friend. That’s how I feel about this series. you really get to feel a kinship with the characters all the while enjoying the story.
