After cracking the Cotulla case, Amara Alvarez has made it to the San Antonio Police Department Homicide Division, but she's fresh fish and her first case is a teenager who is found dead at a crowded waterpark. Never mind that her desk is wherever she happens to land, and the requisition for a desk gets moved to the bottom of the endless signature pile every time she asks for a status update. Amara has to tickle, tease, and finesse the details from any source she can find. And that's not all. What may or may not be a kid who overindulged on a steamy San Antonio day gets a shot of clarity when Amara is stalked online and the hacker starts digitally tossing her life. As if that's not enough, her personal life pivots into chaos mode in the midst of the investigation. Amara has to get creative to crack this case before it turns cold.
Tom Threadgill had us captivated by Amara from the beginning of Collision of Lies, so it's no surprise that he has skillfully upped the ante in Network of Deceit. He has brought back the cast of characters I loved from Collision; Larry, Starsky, Amara's dear Mama, and Wylie are back again supporting our girl as she kicks butt and takes names. It's thrilling to watch Amara find her footing and learn that navigating the life of a homicide detective means learning a lot about yourself in the process.
