About the book:  Ann Silver is a cop’s cop. As the Midwest Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the region’s most trusted investigative positions.

Paul Falcon is the FBI’s top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see the case file or work the murder.

Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn’t expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention.

The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is . . .

My thoughts on the book:  Dee Henderson has written a number of very good books which I have had the pleasure to read. After a 5-year sabbatical from publishing, she has given us Full Disclosure.  It seems to me that this book begins more slowly and in a somewhat different style from that which I recall from past reads.  The lead character Ann Silver is an extremely complex individual of strong fidelity, strong friendships, and strong faith in God.  She has secrets that only a few know.  Her life intersects with the lead male character, Paul Falcon, in the investigation or disclosure of information on a cold case involving a notorious Lady Shooter.

This is not a fast paced book, but it is a well written story that is not difficult to follow.  Interwoven into the thread are characters from her previous books that not only are revealed as real-people-friends but many are also connected to Paul Falcon.

The story progresses to an ending that is definitely difficult to predict and surely the Full Disclosure is the climax.  Another good read from Dee Henderson.
