ML Biddison’s Dell's Duty follows Dell, Fort Pierre’s youngest deputy sheriff, after Jasmine Darby, the assassin who once tried to kill her, calls for help during a South Dakota blizzard. Russian gunmen have broken into Jasmine’s house, and Dell’s rescue puts her inside a much larger operation built around surveillance vans intercepting military communications. When the Russians begin coming after Dell too, FBI agent René Maddis helps her trace the group across the state. But another federal agency is watching the same enemy, and its leader has reasons of his own for keeping Dell out of the investigation. With Jasmine appearing whenever the danger turns worse, Dell has to decide how far duty reaches when the person beside her has spent years on the wrong side of the law.
ML Biddison’s Dell's Duty is first-rate crime fiction, and Biddison proves how entertaining a conspiracy can be when Dell is involved. The author puts readers in the Rapid City warehouse, where Dell discovers bomb-carrying drones stacked behind the Russian surveillance operation and decides the whole lot cannot be left standing. The plot is serious, but the characters are human to the hilt with distinct personalities. The best part is Dell and Jasmine. Biddison takes two women who once wanted each other dead and makes their truce funnier every time it leans further in. Their ice-cream conversation about who gets called a criminal shows exactly why these two understand each other now. Dell is fearless, and her humor is completely her own. The story is packed with surprises and the writing is sublime. Readers who enjoy crime fiction with a fierce female protagonist, this is for you!
