3A secret to kill for, and a truth to die for.
Jennica Ausdall enjoyed all the perks of being a wealthy widow in Chicago: an opulent home, lavish cars, and enough money to treat everyone around her like human garbage.
So, when she’s murdered in the parking lot of her son’s exclusive prep school, the list of suspects is long enough to paper over Wrigley Field. When Detective Shannon Rourke is called out to the scene, she catches a break. The murderer was careless. A series of clues clearly point to a specific person close to Jennica.
But after Shannon arrests her primary suspect, she begins to doubt her own evidence. Her open and shut case might go deeper than anyone is willing to believe.
Now, Shannon is left with a choice. She can go with the quiet, easy conviction, or risk the career she’s given up everything for on the word of a lowlife two steps from a jail cell.
