Publisher's Synopsis
Dashed dreams: she wanted to run for president one day, now she' s dead at 20
When Riley Hunt- a beautiful, smart, popular student at Easton College in Manhattan- is brutally murdered, it becomes a big story for TV newswoman Clare Carlson.
After days of intense media coverage, a suspect is caught: a troubled Afghanistan war veteran with a history of violent and unstable behavior. The suspect' s mother, however, comes to Clare with new evidence that might prove her son' s innocence.
As Clare digs deeper into the puzzling case, she learns new information: Riley had complained about being stalked in the days before her murder, she was romantically involved with two different men- the son of a top police official and the son of a prominent underworld boss- and she had posted her picture on an escort service' s website offering paid dates with wealthy men.
Soon, Clare becomes convinced that Riley Hunt' s death is more than just a simple murder case- and that more lives, including her own, are now in danger until she uncovers the true story.
