Cold Case: Three years ago SFPD Homicide
Investigator Kate Gillespie was in pursuit of a suspect
who murdered a hooker in a sleazy motel, and she
nearly lost her own life in the process. The shooter
escaped into the San Francisco shadows and the trail
went colder than the grave. Now Kate's appearance
on a Bay Area "crime stoppers" TV show produces
new leads that carry her back into the sordid world of
drugs and prostitution -- and point her toward a local
crime boss whose missing wife is possibly linked to
multiple men and multiple murders. But when a
dangerous knot of betrayals, secrets, and criminal
cover-ups starts unraveling, Kate can only hope she'll
be as lucky as she was on that black night at the Twin
Palms Motel. Because the only way to the truth leads
directly into the line of fire .

Deadly Legacy: San Francisco P.D. Homicide
Inspector Kate Gillespie's investigation into a bizarre
apparent murder/suicide is threatening to careen out

families of the deceased are hiding something. And
there are blood-soaked threads reaching into some
very lofty places. But most perplexing of all are the
shocking revelations of one of the "victims" dark and
dangerous history -- the more Kate learns, the less
she knows. It's a case that has placed Kate Gillespie

into her own troubled family history and deep into a
department riddled with dark secrets and truths that
kill. Suddenly Kate Gillespie is teetering on a "blue
wall of silence"and being set up to take a long, fatal
fall -- by a relentless killer who's hiding in plain sight.

A veteran of over 20 years in law enforcement, Robin Burcell
joined the Lodi Police Department at the age of 23. At that
time, she was the first woman police officer in the
department. As a police officer, she worked a variety
assignments including patrol, detectives and as a hostage
negotiator. After leaving Lodi, Burcell, an expert in forensic
art, fingerprints, and child abuse joined Sacramento County
as a criminal investigator
Her first book, When Midnight Comes, was a romance novel
about a police officer. It was a finalist in both the Romance
Writers of America's Golden Heart for Historical and the
prestigious Rita for Best First Book. Burcell then picked up
her pen and began the first in a series of police procedurals
featuring the character Kate Gillespie,.
Harriet Klausner, an Amazon reviewer, commenting on
Burcells book Deadly Legacy remarked that it was an
exciting tale starring a strong cast of characters. Kate is an
ethical lead protagonist whose conscience reminds her that
she tampered with evidence when she removed the photo.
Though everyone insists that Eve was a highly ethical
person, Kate knows first hand otherwise. Rocky provides a
steady balance and an internal affairs cop adds a romantic
angle. The who-done-it is complex as the so-called loving
relatives of the victims do everything to avoid exposure. As
she did with Every Move She Makes and Fatal Truth, Robin
Burcell provides the audience with a strong mystery.

(Concerns of Police Survivors), in memory of men and
women who have given their lives in the line of duty.
