Dead Heat (Lucy Kincaid Novels)
Mass Market Paperback
FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid takes on her most explosive case yet in New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan's Dead Heat.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Assigned
to San Antonio’s Violent Crimes unit, Lucy Kincaid joins a team of
seasoned veterans and newer agents for a task force called Operation
Heatwave. It’s supposed to be a simple sweep of known offenders with
outstanding warrants. But when Lucy and her team try to bust two local
brothers for jumping bail, she walks into a hotbed of pure evil. Their
names are George and Jaime Sanchez. They are charged with murder, drug
trafficking, and worse. And one of them is still out there.
THE HEAT IS ON
As
Lucy races to capture Jaime Sanchez, more shocking evidence comes to
light. The brothers have been using their basement as a holding cell for
children they kidnapped for the cartels. When George agrees to turn on
his brother, he is murdered behind bars. Now Lucy has no choice but to
go outside the law. Enlisting the help of her boyfriend Sean Rogan and
his mercenary brother Kane, she will risk her career — and both of their
lives — to bring down a crime lord’s empire before more innocent lives
go up in flames.
