From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a sinister police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight facing the deadly consequences of living a lie.
A peaceful retreat. A brutal murder. Every secret has a price.
When therapist Sidney Callahan is found murdered in her home office, Detective Madison Knight is called to investigate. Sidney lived on a remote property that also served as a spiritual retreat, where she guided clients in exploring their pasts. With no signs of forced entry, Madison believes the killer wasn't a stranger-but someone Sidney welcomed inside.
Madison soon discovers Sidney was writing a book inspired by the stories her clients had entrusted to her. Was someone willing to kill to keep a devastating secret hidden, or was Sidney concealing a secret of her own that caught up with her?
As Madison digs deeper, she uncovers several people who wanted Sidney dead-each with a motive to kill. But it's only when the investigation exposes a long-buried secret that the pieces finally begin to fall into place. Can Madison uncover the truth before a ruthless killer silences anyone who gets too close?
Perfect for fans of relentless detectives, realistic police procedurals, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Readers who enjoy Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons, and M. A. Comley will love this sinister crime thriller.
