Prologue: A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life - Oscar Wilde
Opening line in the book: Rufus was whispering in his ear again.
Taken from the blurb: LAPD robbery-homicide detective Hayden Glass has always had trouble controlling his urges. No longer trolling the streets looking for working girls, he has a new obsession - the Internet. Infatuated with a woman he finds on a website, Hayden Glass's sex addiction drags him to San Francisco and into a web of corruption and crime.
Glass's search for this woman leads him to a massive sex slave trade run by the Russian mafia and protected by a group of powerful and corrupt San Francisco cops. Glass gets co-opted by the FBI to aid in their investigation...but his presence is doing much more harm than good.
They say that if you want to know what you want to know, then take it from the person who knows what you want to know. Check out this 4-part interview on Schwartz talking about Beat to Connie Martinson, host of television show Connie Martinson Talks Books:
A well-researched and well-written book. The author has a knack for painting words with vivid colours and imperceptible shadings and the extraordinary gift of bringing them to life. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more of Hayden Glass or even a new series by the author.
