LOCKED IN opens with a startling first chapter. As Sharon McCone returns to her office at night on a deserted fog-bound pier, she is shot by an unknown assailant. Waking in the hospital she finds she is suffering from locked in syndrome: trapped in her body, unable to speak or move (except for her eyelids) but with an alert, conscious mind. As her husband, Hy Ripinsky, and the operatives of her detective agency fan out to discover who attacked Sharon, she struggles to break free of her body’s prison. Several murders will occur before the case draws to its shocking conclusion.

"...Muller has displayed a knack both for keeping the series fresh and for allowing her character to grow...After all these years, Muller’s series remains a gold standard for female detective stories."
