By: Beth Strauss When love, lies, and murder collide, losing is not an option. Scarred by years on the job and a string of bad personal choices, gritty detective Karen Cappelletti spends her days cleaning up other people’s messes in a small town just outside of Philadelphia. But the mess that’s heading her way is personal—and very complicated.Ten years ago, Karen arrested a man for a vicious assault. Now he’s out on parole. A week later, his daughter Tam—sharp-tongued, magnetic, and dangerously interested in Karen—reports a corpse on her driveway. And then there’s Ali, a compassionate artist with stunning blue eyes who stirs feelings Karen has spent a lifetime denying.The clock is ticking. With the town spooked, a body on the ground, and both Tam and Ali tangled in Karen’s thoughts, the detective must navigate a case with too many questions and not enough answers.Someone’s playing a long game. And if Karen can’t outsmart them, she won’t just lose the case—she could lose everything, including the love she never saw coming. Show more
