Jagger is the
first book in the Steel Shadows Investigation series by Amanda McKinney. I
haven't read the Steel Shadows Security books yet, but read Phoenix which is a
Steel Shadows Rising book. I think this book could be read as a standalone, as
it describes the other characters.
This book is told
90% from the point of view from Max Jagger who is known as Jagg. He is a
homicide detective who is trying to solve the murder of his former lieutenant.
He comes across the case of Sunny Harper, who is standing with a gun pointed at
her now dead attacker. He feels something is off the whole time, but everyone
else in the town believes her to be the murderer. Sunny has been attacked before and doesn't
have a lot of trust in men. Jagger is battling his own daemons from being in
the war.
With Sunny's life
on the line, Jagg helps move her to someplace safe, and feelings start to
develop. His career is on the line for the few times that he stands up for
Sunny. The head of police is trying to get him fired from his job. Can he
protect Sunny from the dangers, before it's to late? Can they learn to trust
each other?
I really liked
this book and can't wait for the next one in the series!
** I received a complimentary copy of this book in
exchange for an honest review.
