Description
The sixth thrilling installment of Edgar Award?winning author Jane Burke's mystery series featuring Irene Kelly who's on the run after being wrongfully accused of murder and must uncover long-buried family secrets before the killer strikes again.
Intrepid sleuth and reporter Irene Kelly barely has time to recover from the shock of her estranged aunt's murder before she's hit with an even bigger surprise?she's the number one suspect.
With the LAPD close on her heels, Irene sets out to find her aunt's son, Travis, a young man who wants nothing to do with Irene or any of the Kelly family. Long-buried family tensions are resurfacing in ways no one could have predicted, and Irene can sense someone is hunting her down.
Convinced that Travis is the killer's next target, Irene joins forces with him. But protecting him puts her squarely in harm's way. Now she must evade both the law and a relentless killer determined to settle an old family score.
Only by untangling a web of lies and long-held secrets?of bigamy and adultery, alibis and murder?can Irene uncover who has started killing again, and why.
