INNOCENCE TAKEN – Pray He Kills You Quickly – is a police procedure – detective – crime thriller full of disturbing twists.
Lt. Damien Kaine holds his shiny new Lieutenant’s shield. It burns his fingertips as if it knows he is undeserving of its power—or the new position that comes with it. He questions if he is the right man to lead the Vicious Crimes Unit when his judgment failed him so severely. His actions from six months ago, remind him how close he came to committing his own vicious crime when he held his fiancé and her lover at gunpoint in a hotel room.
His own big Italian family questions why he remains at his job with Division Central. Damien knows it’s his commitment to his partner and the dead, that keep him here. However, that may not be enough anymore.
Before he can decide on his future, Damien is sent to investigate a series of brutal murders. When his team realizes one of their own is being stalked by the sadistic killer, a quirky FBI Agent is pulled in to assist with the case. Damien wrestles with his disdain for the agent and his equally strong sexual attraction to her as he deals with his mounting frustrations.
As the bodies begin to stack up, the abduction of another girl puts the team in a race against time to save her. But with the lack of any forensic evidence, Damien might as well be chasing a ghost.
