Two murdered administrators. One university cover-up. And a stalker ex who won't leave her alone.
Taylor Holm's new relationship with Detective Ryan Sterling is finally thriving. Her antique business is booming, and her reputation as the expert everyone trusts is sealed.
But her new life is shattered when she's hired for a routine estate evaluation and finds university dean Dr. Marianne Bierhals dead in the study. Days later, a second administrator, Natalie Princ, is murdered in the exact same way.
Suddenly Taylor is knee-deep in a fifty-year fraud scheme: fake antiques certified as priceless, careers destroyed, and fortunes stolen. Someone at Rivertown University is killing to keep the scandal buried.
To make matters worse, Taylor's stalker ex-boyfriend is back in town, and his escalating harassment is becoming just as dangerous as the killer she's hunting.
Between dodging her violent ex, exposing university corruption, and trying not to become victim number three, Taylor's authentication skills are the only thing that can unmask a killer hiding in plain sight.
For fans of Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, Tonya Kappes & readers who devour: university mysteries - serial killer plot - stalker suspense - document fraud - badass heroines who solve crimes AND survive exes!
