Ike Rossi plunges into a gauntlet of murder, deceit, and danger to uncover a long-forgotten secret that will destroy his client and strike at the heart of the United States of America.
Thirty-five-year-old Amelia Garcia, a veteran Air Force drone pilot who's sacrificed much of her adult life to protect others by doing the unspeakable, has traded her Reaper for a deepwater remotely operated vehicle. It reminds her of flying the Reaper, minus the killing. It's a job that allows her to escape the barren realities of her life onshore. But when her hobby of collecting lost items from the deep-sea floor uncovers a strongbox two hundred miles off the Virginia coast, people she loves start to die. Unable to rely on her powerful but dysfunctional family, she's forced to call on the only person who can help her unlock the secret from the deep black sea.
Ike Rossi is a hometown sports hero turned investigator who's haunted by his parents' unsolved murders. He's built a reputation for providing clients closure by solving impossible cases despite getting none for himself. After nearly losing his sister while saving a ten-year-old boy charged with murder, he's promised to never risk his family again. But in Amelia, Ike sees his own suffering and agrees to risk everything to help her.
Together, with the help of a World War II codebreaker, they discover that their shocking revelation will re-write history, bring Ike to his knees, and destroy Amelia's life as she knows it, while throwing the country into violent chaos. Now, Amelia, a patriot with devastating family secrets, must tackle the ghosts of her past and choose between certain death or revealing the one secret that will destroy her and strike at the heart of the country she loves.
The Secret That Killed You is a heart wrenching thriller that will have readers glued to the pages late into the night until it reaches its jaw-dropping conclusion.
