Two murder cases take the Santa Barbara PI into the dark secrets that lurk beneath domestic bliss in this mystery thriller by the author of Girl Trap.
Private investigator Madeline Dawkins has just received two cases, each concerning a grieving widow. One insists that she didn’t kill her much older husband. The other insists that her husband’s death was no suicide. Meanwhile, Madeline’s own history with troubled marriage is about to resurface—now that her ex-husband Steve has made parole.
Madeline and her partner, Mike Delaney, peer into the once-beautiful lives of two dead husbands, discovering the dirty secrets each man took to his grave. As they dig deeper into the sordid tales of greed and betrayal, disturbing connections begins to emerge. And Madeline realizes that a killer may still be at large, ready to turn another wife into a widow.
