It's a shocking blast from the past when homicide detective Jake Carrington finds himself investigating the last woman he'd suspect of murder . . . Recovering from a stab wound to the gut, and dealing with the news that his sister's killer might beat the system, Lieutenant Jake Carrington needs some downtime. But that's cut short by a very sensitive case: the murder of the police commisioner's wife. The crime scene-a dive hotel, complete with provocative, incriminating photos-suggests the victim was having an affair. But Jake finds that hard to believe-as hard to believe as the #1 suspect . . . Jake hasn't seen his highschool sweetheart, Melinda Mastrianni, since the day his sister, Eva, died. He'd turned down Eva's request for a ride so he could go see Melinda, and the guilt has never left him. Now Melinda's a local photographer, mostly shooting weddings and graduations. Definitely not the kind of pics that led him to her doorstep. But when Melinda disappears, and more prominent women turn up dead, Jake will have to navigate through a twisted blackmailing scheme to find out if the girl he once knew is long gone-or if she's a killer's next target . . . "Tense and authentic-a suspenseful page-turner!" --Leo J. Maloney on All the Pretty Brides
