Eve Ronin is someone I never had the pleasure of meeting until Lee Goldberg dropped this fast-paced, go get ‘em adventure in Gated Prey. This is the third installment of Goldberg’s Ronin series and I am kicking myself for not having read them before and letting the first couple slip through the cracks.
Eve Ronin is a top-notch police investigator who you meet in an extremely unusual situation as she and her partner (Duncan Pavone) are on the hunt for the perps of high-end home burglaries. Just as the operation is getting hot and heavy, the investigators’ plan goes sideways. A couple of dead bad guys and a slaughtered Bentley later the case is seemingly solved. As if crime never sleeps, Ronin is forced into another case trying to determine what happened when a mother has a dead newborn in her arms in another gated community.
Eve Ronin is the perfect example of the law enforcement personnel you want to investigate the atrocities that are committed in your community. Goldberg finds the perfect balance of treachery and resolve in the strong female character of Eve Ronin. She is a force to be reckoned with that all criminals will hate to come face to face with and one that is deserved of the big screen. Goldberg's writing makes for an amazingly easy read and plays out just like the Hollywood we all know and hear about in real life.
