Because of that she is under investigation by the internal affairs department of the FBI for how she works. During that investigation though she is asked to take an undercover assignment at a Horse Racing Track where it appears that there is organized crime rigging the races. Raleigh knows very little about horses, but she does know people.
Our author does a good job of weaving a story together that is not only realistic but downright frightening in a sense. I won't give you the part that is frightening because that would give away some of the plot of the story and be a spoiler, but let me just say that I enjoy how the author brings you along with the story and keeps bringing in new sub-plots that add and build the tension.
There are no major action/adventure/shoot outs that many of these books have, but that doesn't lessen the thrill of the read. Giorello develops her characters well and just when you want to dislike someone you actually end up liking them, or vice versa.
There are Christian undertones at places in the book. Raleigh has a deep faith and she thinks through what her values and stands ought to be based on her beliefs. She seeks God's help at times, but it is not overly done. So, I believe all readers will enjoy the book and not be offended by the mention of faith, it is part of the character of Raleigh and adds to what we know about her.
I enjoyed this read enough that I am going to backtrack and buy her other books. She held my interest, keep me reading and was just down right entertaining.
Enjoy!
