Book Description:
Rookie detective Sydney Livingstone thought she’d left the chaos of her tennis career behind when she joined the small Walsh County Police Department. But a shadowy figure known as "The Enforcer" has other plans. On the dark web, a vigilante is waging their own brand of justice, pushing Sydney to confront a force that threatens to unravel everything she holds dear.
As she investigates a disturbing series of events, including a stalker targeting a seasoned officer, Sydney must navigate the twisted maze of corruption, deception, and a growing conspiracy within her own department. With the media spotlight on Walsh County and danger closing in, will Sydney uncover the truth—or become its next victim?

Review: A man murdered his wife two years ago and then a jury acquitted him of all charges. Then a random attack puts him in the hospital. Serves him right, no?
Then another murder suspect that “beat the rap” was attacked.
There was somebody called “The Enforcer” doling out justice by encouraging people on the dark web to kill unpunished criminals.
Right away, this was an intriguing premise. I liked the idea of the vigilante justice.
Meanwhile, Syd, a cop on suspension, was asked to look into these “vigilante murders.” Was there a leak among them? Was a county employee also a killer?
This was a pretty engaging read, but sometimes this lagged a little too much, which dulled an otherwise scintillating concept. After a while, the narrative becomes much too long and trivial. For a crime mystery, I expected it to be quicker, shorter, and more suspenseful. The actual writing was pretty good, but the excitement level was mild at best.
All in all, this was a fairly nice read and a good effort.
