Lee Martin: Deficit Ending (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
Fort Worth Police Detective Deb Ralston is less than enthusiastic about returning to work at the end of her maternity leave, but she's suddenly catapulted back on the job a few days early. With baby Cameron on her hip, Deb is standing in line at her bank when two men with sawed-off shotguns stage a holdup. To get away, they take a hostage. Deb, who will never forget the look in that young teller's eyes, knows that statistics on the live return of hostages aren't very good.

So she hands the baby over to her husband and sets out to gather evidence, bit by bit, piece by piece. But then she gets a phone call in the night. The teller's body has been found.

Juggling her baby and her badge, Deb uses every ounce of her training, her experience, and her instinct to track down the most murderous bunch of bank robbers since Bonnie and Clyde. Once again sleuth Deb Raiston delivers.
