Thick as thieves... Walter, Emme and Lizette, are childhood friends who became family. Walter and Emme fell in love at a young age and married after completing high school. They had a wonderful life together, until, one day, Walter found his wife lying on the kitchen floor, in a pool of blood, dead. Emme was the sweetest person in the world, who would want to hurt her? She had no enemies, or so everyone thought! While Detective Allen investigates Emme's murder, he falls in love with her best friend and one of his original suspects, Lizette. Her sophistication and no drama tolerance is what he admired, outside of her natural beauty. Liz has a step brother, who she never mentions to the detective because his business dealings are on the other side of the law. What once was considered murder, in the beginning, is now ruled, death by heart attack, according to the Coroner's report. But the smart detective didn't buy it, it was murder, and he would spend years trying to prove it! Walter Davenport's life was turned upside down by her sudden death. During the investigation, Walter discovered that she had a secret, one that could disrupt his family, completely. After reading a long letter she had written him, he spent a night out drinking; and ended up being consoled by his wife's co-worker and friend, Vedette, who has several secrets of her own. He decides that Vedette can get him back on track and considers his life now Under Construction.
