She trusted her. That was her first mistake.
FBI Agent Alexis Forrest is supposed to be done with killers. Desk duty in Broken Hill, Maine. A baby on the way. A quiet life she's finally learning to want.
Then her new friend's husband turns up dead.
The local ME rules it a cardiac event. Natural causes. Nothing to investigate. But Alexis knows what a staged crime scene looks like. She knows what it means when a woman controls her husband's medication, asks his doctors all the right questions, and somehow knows details about the body that were never made public.
She knows what this is.
What she doesn't know yet is that this isn't the first time.
In Connecticut, there was another husband. Another cardiac event. Another grieving widow who walked away with everything.
Now Alexis is running an unauthorized investigation while on desk duty, building a murder case against the only real friend she's made in years - as the town closes ranks around the woman they believe is a victim, and someone makes clear they've been watching Alexis all along.
She has no jurisdiction. No backup. No one who believes her.
Just a dead man, a missing pattern, and an instinct she can't bury.
Perfect for fans of AJ Rivers, Mary Stone, and Melinda Leigh.
