A young woman is found dead in her quaint apartment home. Her demise was ruled a suicide from the authorities, but not everyone believes that explanation. Two police officers, Jania Lathe and Darst "Dart" Foster, believe something secret is happening beneath it all that estranges their relationship with the law and the criminals within a new renaissance of peace in Philadelphia. Soon the agents discover that getting too close to the tragedy puts their own lives in the balance. The murder of the girl affects the lives of those obsessed with finding the truth behind it in ways unexpected by even the most prepared for danger. Justice is desired, but meeting the ends of it is sometimes too much to withstand. "The Alluring End" is the debut mystery/thriller novel from Stephen J. Pegg and can be reached on Twitter at @SJPwriter.
