Two months ago Dr. Cassandra Hart was forced to kill a man. The man who murdered her best friend, almost killed Drake and seriously wounded her. Now she's back at work in her Pittsburgh ER, but nothing seems the same. When she fears that a young boy is being abused by his "perfect" mother, her friends and colleagues worry that she's returned to work too soon, imagining dangers that don't exist. Others accuse her of trying to cover up her own alleged mistakes in the boy's treatment by making a false report of abuse. Drake's facing problems of his own, trying to cope with the aftermath of the night two months ago when his passion for Cassie led to a confrontation with a killer. He's on desk duty, reviewing cold cases, and delves into the homicide case that killed his father seven years ago. But after so long, what good can he do, a cop without a gun? The stakes escalate when Cassie is almost killed and Drake finds evidence that the killer his father was tracking might be planning to strike again--this time targeting a young boy. With the lives of two children at stake, how can they walk away? Download your copy of SLEIGHT OF HAND today! Haven't fallen in love with Hart and Drake yet? Check out NERVES OF STEEL, their first book. #1 New York Times Bestseller Sandra Brown called NERVES OF STEEL "the perfect mix of romance and suspense. My kind of book."… (more)

I had read the first Hart & Drake book, Nerves of Steel, and couldn't put it down. I was excited to start this second book. To be honest, it was about Chapter 11 or 12 before I really got hooked. Not sure why it didn't grab me from the beginning but once it did I couldn't put it down and read it one afternoon. In this book, Hart & Drake are recovering from their encounter with a murderer. Both have issues from that experience and those issues have kept them apart. Now Hart is back in trouble at her hospital and doesn't feel like anyone is on her side. This book deals with a hard subject - the death of children - but the writing is done in a way that you understand what has happened without all the graphic details. I love C J Lyon as a writer and I thoroughly enjoy her books. I plan to read all of them and I would recommend them. ( )
