Detective Olivia Watson doesn't understand why she and her
partner have been summoned to the murder scene of Ron
Kober, a very prominent businessman in Kansas City. After
all, she works with the Cold Case Squad of the Kansas City
Police Department. But reporter Gabriel Knight answers
that
question for Olivia. When Gabe heard the call come over
the
police scanner, he called KCPD and requested that Cold
Case
Squad detectives respond to the scene. He believes that
this murder is somehow tied to the murder of his fiancée
Danielle Reese six years ago. Her case was never solved.
Olivia's father was the lead detective on that case, and
he
was forced to retire with that one mark against his
record.
With very little evidence, both old and new, Olivia and
Gabe team up to find Danielle's killer and maybe the
person
responsible for the more recent murder of Ron Kober. As
they begin their investigation, it appears that someone
doesn't want them poking around the old crime scene nor
asking too many questions. Three narrow escapes have this
cold case heating up for sure. And is there something else
heating up between Olivia and Gabe?
KANSAS CITY COVER UP is a fast-paced, action-packed novel
that sizzles from page one. If the police action isn't hot
enough, the tension between characters and the electricity
between Olivia and Gabe will fan the flames just as well.
Olivia is a third generation cop and her character is well
portrayed by Julie Miller in this story. It's a story
about
trust and relationships and about keeping old secrets
hidden. This is another thriller from Ms. Miller's The
Precinct: Cold Case
series and my second visit with her to Kansas City. I'm
becoming a fan!
Political intrigue, an undercover investigation and a very mutual attraction As the Kansas City Police Department's archenemy, reporter Gabriel Knight never expected to need its help.

Sharing a mutual distrust—and a disturbingly mutual attraction—Gabe and Olivia discover that someone's working hard to keep old secrets buried and stop their investigation dead. But as they come closer to the truth they edge closer to each other. Until now, neither has had room in their lives—or hearts—for a relationship. Yet all that could change - if Gabe can prevent them from becoming tomorrow's headline.
