"Yes, he’s my son and, yes, that reeks of nepotism, but please bear in mind that the novel was just nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best mystery novel by an American author. What makes it special, in my opinion, is a hefty dose of something that’s been largely missing from crime fiction since Donald Westlake passed away: rib-splitting humor."

In Macallister's second novel, she takes on telling the story of Kate Warne, America's (and maybe the world's) first female detective, who walked into the Pinkerton's Detective Agency in 1856 and insisted Pinkerton take her on as an agent.

The situations and attitudes that arise in this book are all too believable which make this a brilliant and horrible book to read.

This novel is the 2nd in the 'Lock In' series, though you could have read it without reading the first and not get too lost. This novel picks up a year after the last novel. Chris is at a Hilketa game, which is a sport where Threeps get their heads ripped off, and witnesses a player's death. Chris and his partner, Vann, get involved immediately and work the case on his death. Like the first, it's a police procedural with the smattering of sci-fi. I really enjoyed this one, and hope there's a next book.
