"Introduced in Dead Ahead , Brooklyn police detective Nikki Trakos makes a welcome second appearance. A smart, nose-to-the-grindstone cop who, at 31, occasionally wonders if she should be married to a man instead of her job, Nikki is now in charge of her first major case, the murder and sexual mutilation of a high-profile Manhattan politician.
