Publisher's Synopsis
Clients don't just hire her, they turn her loose. Sandy Reid is back and the assertive young criminal defense attorney finally lands her first big murder case. As she digs in and begins to destroy the state attorney's case, she is convinced her client is lying. Is she rushing to save an innocent woman, or helping a killer get away with murder? She faces a client who seems innocent of shooting her husband until she opens her mouth, the client's mysterious boyfriend who has no past and is unquestionably shady yet doesn't cast a shadow, and the victim's sister whose fashionable facade hides a layer of predatory sex. The sister also happens to be a former girlfriend of Sandy's lover and wants him back in her life. And they all have a reason to lie. Sandy finds herself questioning her lover's faithfulness at the same time she's deciding whether to go too far with an FBI agent with movie-star looks who won't take no for an answer. Her gutsy search for the killer leads her away from her quiet ocean side town and down to the tropical palms along Biscayne Bay, and the steamy streets of Miami that are dark with something more than the night. In the end, Sandy discovers that not everything is as it seems. This fast-paced murder mystery is the fourth in the exciting mystery series with Sandy Reid the sassy and irrepressible protagonist."
