Waiting on Wednesday - A Dead Draw

 


'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about.  I love doing this, letting the 'word' spread about authors and series that I enjoy.   Hope you'll stop by often and see what I'm 'waiting' on!

The book I'm sharing this week is the 11th book in Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series.  I love this series.  Really a good one in my opinion.  And I am caught up with it, so May can't come soon enough for me in order to read A Dead Draw.  I have mentioned this author more than once here on the blog.  I read the first 7 books back to back in July of 2019.  Loved them.  Part of my enjoyment is the setting - the Pacific Northwest.  Part is Tracy herself and how her life has changed since the first book (which is My Sister's Grave).  Tracy is an extremely talented detective.  Seriously.  If you haven't 'met' Tracy and you need a new crime novel series, try this one.  Best to start with the first book.  Thoughts if you've tried any of Robert Dugoni's books?  He writes a number of series and also standalone books.      



A Dead Draw

by Robert Dugoni

Publication Date:  May 27th

A killer fueled by revenge. A detective haunted by the past. They are headed for a high-stakes showdown in this bone-chilling new Tracy Crosswhite novel by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.

Detective Tracy Crosswhite isn’t one to lose her cool. Until her interrogation of the taunting and malicious Erik Schmidt, a suspect in two cold case killings. Schmidt also has unnerving ties to the monster who murdered Tracy’s sister, stirring memories of the crime that shaped Tracy’s life. After a critical mistake during a shooting exercise, Tracy breaks.

Haunted by nightmares and flashbacks, Tracy heads to her hometown of Cedar Grove to refocus. Just a peaceful getaway with her husband, her daughter, and their nanny at their weekend house. But Tracy’s sleepless nights are only beginning. A legal glitch has allowed Schmidt to go free. And Tracy has every reason to fear that he’s followed her.

Forced into a twisted game of cat and mouse, Tracy must draw on all her training, wits, and strength to defeat a master criminal before he takes away everyone Tracy loves.

  1. Oh... I read the first book in this series er... I think it was last year. Liked it a lot but have not got around to more. It's clearly worth doing so, Kay?
