Needs, Wants and Other Weaknesses - The New Pioneers, #8 - E-book - ePub

Boston Police Detective Robert Teague risked his professional reputation to close the case that ruined his father. He burned a lot of people to do that, and after six years the captain who saved his job hasn't forgotten how much Robert screwed up. A detective of his experience should have something better to do than chasing down a complaint against a paroled convict, but maybe that's why his gut is telling him something doesn't make sense.
Why did this boyfriend pimp get such a light sentence in the first place, and why did one of Boston's most prestigious law firms represent him? And what is it about the complaining witness that makes her less reliable every time he talks to her? (The fact that she's using an alias isn't helping.)Even a hard-boiled cop would be shocked by the world Hannah Bruges has been slipping in and out of since she was a young teenager.
Counterfeiting, child prostitution and slave labor in all its forms make the world a miserable place, and Hannah knows better than most how evil it can be when no one cares. When anyone can get what they want at every level of a dark market, nothing's as cheap as a human life. Robert would be happy to close the case if Hannah didn't keep walking into trouble and dragging him into it with her. And if he's honest, the detective in him wants to know what she's really after: the people the law can't find, or the person no one bothered to look for?There's always someone who can give you what you want and what you need, but nothing comes without a price.
How much are you willing to pay when it's someone you love?
