This is an official review of True Blue. Mason “Mace” Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything-her badge, her career, her freedom-and spent two years in prison. Now she’s back on the outside and focused on one mission: to be a cop once more. Her only shot to be a true blue again is to solve a major case on her own, and prove she has the right to wear the uniform. But even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows: A vindictive U.S. attorney is looking for any reason to send Mace back behind bars. Then Roy Kingman enters her life.
Roy is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. As they investigate the death, they start uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public world of the nation’s capital.
Soon, what began as a fairly routine homicide takes a terrifying and unexpected turn-into something complex, diabolical, and possibly lethal.

The town of Chester’s Mill, ME is changed forever on October 21st, when an invisible force field materializes to quarantine it from the rest of humanity. Not truly a dome as the title suggests, the mysterious barrier is more like a capsule that fits exactly over the town’s borders.
The “dome” is 47,000 feet high, and extends far below the town as well. Pollutants begin to gather on the barrier, eventually giving it the look of a dirty windshield as the story progresses. Near its base, the “dome” emits a low level electronic frequency that gives anyone with a pacemaker a nasty surprise when it explodes in their chest. The barrier is as strong as it is thorough, it can withstand aircraft and cars collisions; rifle shots and cruise missiles tipped with bunker buster warheads are equally ineffective.
The military forms a perimeter around Chester Mills, and further cuts off the town from the rest of the world by shutting down Internet access and leaving the trapped town to fend for themselves. In accordance with whatever literary laws there are regarding towns mysteriously isolated, characters representing both the good and evil sides of the spectrum emerge. Evil is aptly represented by Big Jim Rennie, who owns the local used car dealership along with heading the town council. Rennie’s the proverbial big fish in a small pond; despite his claim he was born again in his teens, he’s more apt to steal a baby’s candy than kiss the baby. When the dome appears, Big Jim becomes more concerned with solidifying his power base than the welfare of his town. He’s also more than a bit concerned about the council’s dirty secret coming to light — that they’ve been using town materials to run a meth lab in order to give Chester Mills an economic boost. The dead corpses stashed in his pantry, courtesy of his psychotic and migraine prone son as well as himself, are starting to pose a problem as well.
