Publisher's Synopsis
It's the worst possible time for Detective Kerri Devlin to be involved in an all-consuming double-homicide case. She's locked in a bitter struggle with her ex-husband and teenage daughter, and her reckless new partner is anything but trustworthy. Still, she has a job to do: there's a killer at large, and a pregnant woman has gone missing. Once Devlin and her partner get to work, they quickly unearth secrets involving Birmingham's most esteemed citizens. Each new layer of the investigation brings Devlin closer to the killer and the missing woman, who starts looking more like a suspect than a victim. But just as answers come into view, the case twists, expands, and slithers into Devlin's personal life. There's a much more sinister game at work, one she doesn't even know she's playing - and she must unravel the truth once and for all to stop the killer before she loses everything.
