Publisher's Synopsis
On Monday, Grace Reagan meets a teenager who says he is her son. Two days later, her world is unrecognizable and there's a dead woman on her doorstep. Karma has arrived in Mallard Bay and murder is right behind it.
She's been ignoring the warning signs for weeks. Something bad is coming, but until it's right in front of her, Grace refuses to see it. When three seemingly unrelated disasters hit, her life flies out of control. In the center of the chaos is the stranger who believes she is his mother.
Small-town gossips say Peter Carlton is a murderer, but Grace believes he's telling the truth about almosteverything. As a new client of Reagan and Mosley, Attorneys at Law, Peter complicates her life in ways she never could have imagined.
Karma has come calling in the form of a boy with a bad attitude.
Did Peter kill a stranger in a drug deal gone bad, or is he the innocent, hard-luck kid he claims to be? And who is his mother? Grace needs answers, fast, as she searches for a murderer who is dangerously close to the people she loves.
