A Murder That Shatters a Family. A Case That Could Destroy a Detective.
Detective Jane Rieger-Franklin has built a life filled with love-her wife, Anna, and their two spirited teen-aged daughters are her world. But when billionaire matriarch Emma King is brutally murdered, Jane is pulled into a family torn apart by greed, betrayal, and long-simmering hatreds.
The Kings are a dynasty of dysfunction-four grown children who despise their mother and each other. Any one of them could be the killer. As Jane digs deeper, the Kings' twisted secrets claw at her own deepest fears, shaking the foundation of her once-stable home. Anna's harmless flirtation with another woman stirs unexpected insecurities. Their daughters' rebellious streaks test her patience. And Jane's unresolved grief threatens to pull her under.
Then, just as she begins to unravel the shocking truth about Emma King's murder-another body falls. The case takes a sinister turn, and the danger becomes terrifyingly personal. In a nail-biting finale with a touch of Agatha Christie, Jane must risk everything-including her own life-to stop a killer before they strike again.
Dark secrets. Twisted motives. And a detective pushed to the edge. Perfect for fans of Tana French, Louise Penny, and Lisa Gardner.
