Her Final Breath finished

Tracy gets the murderer--not the Home Depot employee who was stalking her and who was killed by the police.  He was just a weirdo.  Instead, the killer is the manager of the dance club, spiky haired guy whose mother was a prostitute and who had an itch for acting.  Tracy catches him as he's about to kill again. She talks to him.  The "acting" part of his nature is flattered by the SWAT team outside, the cameras, etc.  Tracy talks him into giving himself up.  (There is a bit too much exposition in the final chapters for my taste.) Tracy decides to continue as a cop.

This one wasn't as good as the other Dugoni mystery/thrillers I have read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. He mentioned Hooverville, a tavern I've gone to in SODO, so that was flattering (I'm in there with the cool people!).

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
