Private Security-Mallory Kane

Private Security


Mallory Kane

Harlequin Intrigue, May 1 2012, $5.25

ISBN: 9780373696185



The horrible cave in of the Golden Galaxy Casino left six dead. Private investigator Juliana Caprese believes the casino’s builder Michael Delancey is responsible for the tragic collapse that killed her father. She seeks proof. Another investigator John Dawson also looks into the fatal accident that led to his changing his name from Dawson Delancey as his father Michael swears to him he did not cause the tragedy.



Rookie Juliana and veteran John team up on the inquiry as they search for the vanished contractor Randall Knoblock. John saves her life several times as someone tries to kill them. However, Juliana perceives her mentor is hiding something significant from her; she vows to find out what; while he wonders whether his father or another family member wants him dead. As they fall in love, he fears how she will react when she learns he hid the fact that he is son of the man she believes killed her father.



The latest Delancey Dynasty romantic suspense (see Double Edged Detective) is a delightful tale starring two sleuths in love but the tie between their fathers leaves any relationship between them in jeopardy. The whodunit is engaging while the romance is enjoyable though concealing an identity is not a new concept. Fans will appreciate Mallory Kane’s action-packed filled thriller as the “… the truth will set you free”, but does not guarantee happiness if you even live long enough to learn the truth.
