Two years have passed since the car accident that took the lives of her husband and four-year-old son, but free lance photographer Sara Martin still grieves. When the phone calls began, her friend Bess Haskins pushes Sara to talk with her husband Tony, an Austin police detective for advice. Sara reluctantly does, but Tony misses the appointment. His partner Eric D'Angelo takes time from the Sinatra serial killer case he works to provide her with practical tips.
Surprising both Eric and Sara, they feel an immediate attraction to one another as neither has found any recent interest in the opposite sex until now. However, the Sinatra case intersects with Sara as the killer, over the phone, begins describing the grisly scenes to her in some sort of macho boasting manner. If he did not love her, Eric would wonder if Sara was helping the murderer, but because he does he concludes that she is the ultimate target, but who is this Sinatra fan?
Though serial killer romance tales have been in over abundance of late, this novel is a refreshing entry due to the Sinatra angle. The story line is loaded with action that turns quite frenzied when Eric realizes that his beloved is in danger. The lead couple is a charming pair and his partner and her friend add depth to the stars. Dee Davis furbishes a strong police procedural romance and readers will enjoy DANCING IN THE DARK (but keep the lights on – it's hard to read in the dark).
