About this ebook

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red presents a spine-tingling story of murder and betrayal in high society Savannah, where a homicide detective finds his career—and life—on the line.

When Savannah detective Duncan Hatcher is summoned to an unusual crime scene, he knows discretion is key. Influential Judge Cato Laird’s beloved trophy wife, Elise, has fatally shot a burglar. She claims self-defense, but Duncan suspects she’s lying, and puts his career in jeopardy by investigating further. Then, in secret, Elise makes an incredible allegation, which he dismisses as the lie of a cunning woman trying to exploit his intense attraction to her. But when Elise goes missing, Duncan finds that trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death for both of them.

Ratings and reviews

This is the second Sandra Brown book I've read recently and both of them had horribly chauvinistic male protagonists. I'm sick of reading about men dominating women and the women being too feeble and stupid to stand up for themselves. Please, Sandra, try writing about a female protagonist that out thinks a man for once. This is the last Sandra Brown novel I'll waste my money on.

Ohmygosh! I was addicted to reading this book. Barely put it down. This book will have your pulse racing, anxious to find out what happens next. Definitely a favorite book of mine now.
