When DCI Abigail Spencer is dragged from bed at 3:30 a.m. to a brutal murder, the victim is the last person she ever expected: her wealthy ex-lover Christine Pierce.
The prime suspect, Alice Roberts, was found unconscious beside the body, hammer in hand.
As Abi dives into the investigation — uncovering a poisoned dog, a ransacked house, a massive inheritance, and a string of violent burglaries — she must also navigate her explosive new romance with fellow officer Sarah.
With every clue pointing closer to home, Abi races to catch a killer who will stop at nothing to claim millions… while fighting to protect the woman she’s falling in love with.
