"Duplicity" is the second book in Jane Hasfieldine's Julia Gooden mysteries series. It centers on the story of Julie, a former member of theS.A.S forces in France, now serving as an assistant district attorney.
Julia is trying to find the real motive behind a courthous bomb that killed several people, including a key witness in a drug trafficking prosecution against her husband, David, who has been critically injured in the explosion. While she is sure that Nick Rossi was involved in this crime, she doesn't have strong evidence against him. Her investigations lead her to realize that there is more to this case than meets the eye, as Rossi's power and influence run deep in the world of drug trafficking and politics.
Undeterred, Julia asks her childhood friend, Detroit police detective Raymond Navarro for help. Together, they begin an investigation into a complicated case, uncovering a web of blackmail and retribution, while ultimately hoping to gather sufficient evidence to prove Rossi's involvement. Despite the risks involved, Julia is usually willing to pursue justice, but in this case, her decision to go after Rossi brings the life of her teenage daughter Marie in jeopardy.

Описание книги от Jane Haseldine
Julia's husband, Assistant District Attorney David Tanner is about to bring criminal Nick Rossi to trial for drug trafficking, illegal gambling, bribery, and more. However, when a courthouse bomb claims several victims, including the prosecution's key witness, David is left critically injured. Julia's certain Rossi orchestrated the attack, but she doesn't have a strong case against him, and his power and connections run deep. Undeterred, she enlists the help of Detroit PD's Detective Raymond Navarro, and they begin to follow a trail of blackmail, payback, and political ambition, hoping to find proof of Rossi's guilt at its end. The risks are high, but Julia's always been willing to take them. This time, though, her family hangs in the balance, and justice may come too late.
