Synopsis:

In this absorbing debut novel, a string of violent murders of prostitutes in Quinton, Massachusetts is consuming all of award-winning crime reporter Devon Bailey’s attention as she covers the murders for the Quinton Herald. While her work occupies her every hour, it also helps her move on after the end of her marriage to Ellis Priest. But when Priest leaves a desperate message on her phone from the county jail where he’s being held on suspicion of murder of professional photographer, Carlos Marks, she can’t just let him sit there without finding out what happened. Bailey and Ari Knowles, the first openly lesbian police officer in the Quinton Police Department, are brought into an uneasy alliance as Bailey continues her investigative reporting on the prostitute murders while quietly trying to clear her husband of the Marks murder. An encounter with a known prostitute, a stealth visit to the Marks crime scene, and some alleged compromising photos of Bailey, lead her and Knowles to some disturbing connections that prove both risky and life-threatening.

About the Author: Roxann Davis is an author and journalist, living and working in Western Massachusetts, whose obsession with crime stories, crime novels, and crime shows can be traced back to her mother who always had a copy of True Detective magazine on her bedside table. It was inevitable that Roxann would write her own crime novels.
