But a big case like this is just what Evan needs after a terrible mistake nearly tanked his career.

Then a dark discovery leaves Evan with only one way out; to bury the truth Russell is so determined to uncover ...

A twist-lover's dream.

Anna Downes

Christian White

If you are not on the edge of your seat from the first word to the last in this gripping thriller, you have no soul.

Jane Caro

A powerful novel . . . I think this is one of Candice's best books, and it was one that I couldn't put down.

Sisters in Crime

Fox delivers two complex and very human characters in a dark, literally venomous tale with a profound sense of place.

Booklist

A sturdy police procedural that shines more brightly, and darkly, as the study of a disastrously dysfunctional family.
