When P.I. Barbara O’Grady’s best friend Andrea is arrested for murder, Barbara takes on the case. Which goes against her better judgement, but what can she do? Andrea’s in trouble.

Desperate to clear her friend, Barbara can't turn away from a 12 year-old boy’s cry for help. His father's suicide may have been murder—and he’s afraid the killer is coming back. Torn between her two clients, Barbara races the clock to save them both. With a little help from Nick, the sexy insurance salesman–or is he? 

Two very different cases begin to connect, and draw Barbara too close to a killer. Will she go too far this time?
