Description:

"A criminal who sadistically canes his female victims. A distraught young woman who experienced it. A likely link to a prominent politician. All three combined to create an intriguing case that could bring challenge and a career advancement to police officer Tara Larson. There's just one thing standing in her way - her detective husband Mack. Since the two married, he has declined dangerous assignments. Now he expects Tara to do the same. And old-fashioned Mack isn't about to change his mind. When Tara decides to go undercover behind his back, she risks getting in over her head - and over her husband's knee as well."
