(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Between the end of his marriage and the excessive force complaints against him, Detective Sergeant Mickey Dolan is running out of chances. When a powerful and connected city councilman reports that his wife and two daughters have disappeared, Dolan is assigned the case—knowing full well that his career is riding on the outcome.
While investigating, Dolan meets Eve Pressman and her remarkable daughter, Grace. Gifted with the ability to bring people out of comas, Grace is reluctant to be thrust into the public eye but determined to help those in need. Eve and Grace may know where Councilman Royster’s family is and the terrible truth that sent the three of them into hiding in the first place. Now, Dolan faces the toughest choice of his career: is he still a good cop if he has to do the wrong thing?

*3.5 stars*

The first in a new series by the author of the excellent Leo Waterman novels.

Nothing particularly new in the premise of this story - an elected official's family has been kidnapped, a detective on his last chance, secrets and a race against time...

However, the thing that holds this story together is the writing of G.M. Ford. While the hero still isn't really fleshed out by the end of the story, there is certainly enough in this book to make me want to go back for another. Enough intrigue, character and delivery to know that this series will only get better over time...
