In the thriller 'Bad Hearts' by bestselling author Karen Rose, the investigations in a luxurious residential complex full of dark secrets bring tough police officer Kit McKittrick and psychologist Sam Reeves together again.

Detective Kit McKittrick of the San Diego Police Department's homicide division is called to the Shady Oaks retirement community. The body of an 85-year-old resident has been found; he was stabbed to death. The man apparently fought back, and his apartment has been ransacked. Who targeted Frankie, a former cop, and more importantly, why? Was Frankie a one-off victim, or are the other residents of Shady Oaks also in danger?

Kit McKittrick begins interviewing witnesses, but is quickly thwarted. Most of the residents are anything but cooperative. Kit suspects that Shady Oaks has quite a few skeletons in her closet, but she's getting nowhere.

To solve the case, Kit has no choice but to work with Dr. Sam Reeves once again. He volunteers at Shady Oaks and has good relationships with residents and staff. However, the psychologist awakens feelings in her that she'd rather ignore...

A gripping page-turner with plenty of twists and a touch of romance.

In this thriller series from San Diego, Karen Rose once again demonstrates her full range of skills as a multi-bestselling author: Dramatic twists and lifelike characters that you grow fond of provide top-class thrills.
