Description:
“They're illegal. They're undocumented. They're disappearing. The last
thing Finn O'Brien wants is to come between his partner and her daughter, but
Amber Anderson is desperate for his help. Her new boyfriend, an undocumented
immigrant, is missing. Uneasy about keeping a secret from his partner and
hindered by the prejudice and politics of the LAPD, Finn is tempted to turn a
deaf ear to the girl's plea - until the first body is found. Fighting a system
that wants to turn a blind eye, Finn tracks a serial killer who preys on the
most vulnerable, one with a gruesome secret that has been buried under decades
of shame. To stop him, Finn O'Brien must navigate a shadowy world where life is
cheap - even his own.”
Author:
The author of numerous thrillers in multiple subgenres, USA Today
bestseller Rebecca Forster lives in Los Angeles with her husband.
Appraisal:
This is the third book in this series. I raved about the first two and
this latest installment is no different. LA police detective Finn O’Brien and
his partner, Cori Anderson, are great characters. They have faults and at times
make questionable decisions that show they’re imperfect, but both strive to
make their city a better and safer place.
The story in Secret Relations
is an intense thriller that had me on edge throughout. Much of the story is
focused on the undocumented alien population, targeted by the serial killer,
and I found the story thought provoking as I considered their situation.
FYI
While part of a series, each book in the Finn O’Brien Thriller series
can be read as a standalone.
