A man is dead, shot three times in his home office. But his computer has been shot twelve times, and when the cops arrive, his pregnant wife is holding the gun.
D. D. Warren arrives on the scene and recognizes the woman--Evie Carter--from a case many years back. Evie's father was killed in a shooting that was ruled an accident. But for D.D., two coincidental murders is too many.
Flora Dane sees the murder of Conrad Carter on the TV news and immediately knows his face. She remembers a night when she was still a victim--a hostage--and her captor knew this man. Overcome with guilt that she never tracked him down, Flora is now determined to learn the truth of Conrad's murder.
But D.D. and Flora are about to discover that in this case the truth is a devilishly elusive thing. As layer by layer they peel away the half-truths and outright lies, they wonder: How many secrets can one family have?
My Review:
5 Stars
One of my favorite detectives and CI's are back in this suspenseful and intriguing novel.
D.D. has never believed in coincidences. So when someone from her early days on the squad is accused of murder a second time D.D. plants herself in the investigation. I mean she's the supervisor so what's a little harm in hands on supervising right?
What D.D. doesn't count on is Flora having a hand in the investigation. That brings a whole new twist the simple murder D.D. was investigating. A twist that will bring back one of our favorite Federal Agents, whom I was so excited to see was making an appearance.
D.D. and her team, along with Flora and hers, race to bring justice to crimes both old and new. What they find along the way will open up old scars and shed new light onto past discretion.
