A simple sting operation takes a violent and unexpected turn for Detective Eve Ronin in a gripping thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detective Eve Ronin and her soon-to-retire partner, Duncan Pavone, are running a 24-7 sting in a guard-gated enclave of palatial homes in Calabasas. Their luxury McMansion is a honey trap, set to lure in the violent home invaders terrorizing the community. The trap works, leaving three intruders dead, a body count that nearly includes Eve and Duncan.
Eve’s bosses are eager to declare the case closed, but there are too many unanswered questions for her to let go. Was the trap actually for her, bloody payback for Eve’s very public takedown of a clique of corrupt deputies? Or is there an even deadlier secret lurking behind those opulent gates? Eve’s refusal to back down and her relentless quest for the truth make her both the hunter…and the prey.

My Thoughts
#GatedPrey
I had signed up for this book at our local library just for the heck of it. It took me two nights to finish it it is that good!Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detective Eve Ronin and her partner, Duncan Pavone, who will be retiring soon, as he lets Eve know, on numerous occasions. They are involved in a sting to catch the thieves who are robbing the gated community of fancy l homes in Calabasas, California.
The sting is successful, they catch the thieves but the three are killed, two by the detectives and one by a well-meaning security guard, the sting also nearly killed Duncan and Eve.
Trying to solve this crime is not really over like they thought, there may be more involved.
While trying to solve this crime a new one pops up, a fetal abduction, I know right? Pretty creepy.
I really liked Eve, a woman who has fought her way up the ladder if you will, doesn't take any crap from anyone and is determined for when she has a case to solve, she will finish it, no matter what.
Duncan is a character and a half, doesn't get excited about anything, well maybe where he can get his next meal. He is about to retire so he is kind of along for the ride. I loved him also, even his food-stained tie.
Looking for a good whodunnit, look no further, Gated Prey is the one you want to read next!
Doing a review for the heck of it!
