Kristen Lepionka

PI Roxanne Weary investigates a woman's murder in a "wise, knowing, propulsive, and perfectly pitched" crime novel from "a major new talent" (Lee Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).

Marin Strasser has a secret. Her fiancé thinks her secret is that she's having an affair, and he hires P.I. Roxane Weary to prove it. Then, just days into the case, Marin is shot to death on a side street in an apparent mugging. But soon enough the police begin to suspect Roxane's client for Marin's death, so she starts to dig deeper into Marin's life—discovering that the elegant woman she's been following has a past and a half, including two previous marriages, an adult son fresh out of prison, and a criminal record of her own. The trail leads to a crew of con artists, an ugly real estate scam that defrauds unsuspecting elderly homeowners out of their property, and the suspicious accident of a wealthy older woman who lives just down the street from where Marin was killed.

With Roxane's client facing a murder indictment, the scammers hit close to home to force Roxane to drop the case, and it becomes clear that the stakes are as high as the secrets run deep.

"A fresh, smart, edgy update of the best in classic detective fiction." — Alafair Burke, New York Times–bestselling author of The Wife
