Synopsis

Breakneck marks the return of Detectives Mary Catherine (MC) Riggio and Kitt Lundgren, partners in the police department's Violent Crimes Bureau in industrial, blue-collar Rockford, Illinois. The two detectives are faced with tracking down a monster unlike any they have encountered before. The clean, seemingly emotionless kills leave MC and Kitt little but the growing string of victims to follow--all young adults, clean cut, kid-next-door types who've never taken a step outside the law. And this time around, it's personal for MC: The first victim is her cousin Tommy Mariano, oldest son of her favorite aunt. As MC and Kitt hunt a faceless killer, they are led deep into the cyberuniverse, where no one is who they seem and you never know who's watching. At the heart of this fast-paced thriller is the relationship between the two headstrong women, their struggle to balance their dual roles, to learn to trust, and to walk the fine line between upholding the law--and taking it into their own hands as they race to find a murderer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this selection. The narration was outstanding, and the story kept my interest from the first second to the last. As a result, I will add more Erica Spindler selections to my queue.

Goodreads review by Diane on December 20, 2013

Okay, so I thought this book was going to be a kind of sucky book - way too much love flowing between all the characters, then all of a sudden "wham" I didn't seen that coming. Talk about a lot of emotions running through this book, so very sad at times, and at other times makes one very angry. The m......more

Goodreads review by Steve on July 26, 2013

I've read two Erica Spindler novels, Watch Me Die and Copycat. Both were decent thrillers that sucked you in. Breakneck, the sequel to Copycat, is simply awful. Let me list the ways: 1. Not sure who the protagonist. In the first one, its Kitt Lundgren. In the second on, MC gets a lot of page time to......more
