Number One New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with another suspenseful thriller
Born into a fine old Charleston family, Hammond Cross is determined to be the city’s next district attorney – without sacrificing his integrity. Prosecuting the sensational murder of a real estate magnate could be his ticket into office. Yet, while Hammond anticipates his success, someone near him is plotting his downfall. Is it Steffi Mundell, colleague, ex-lover and rival? Rory Smilow, homicide detective and Hammonds avowed enemy? Is it the dead man’s widow, wily, beautiful and Hammond’s lifelong friend? Or is it Hammond’s prime suspect, the mysterious woman who shares the secret that would be fatal to Hammond’s ambitions?
Praise for Sandra Brown
‘Suspense that has teeth’
Stephen King
‘Lust, jealousy, and murder suffuse Brown’s crisp thriller’
Publishers Weekly
‘An edge-of-the-seat thriller that’s full of twists . . . Top stuff!’
