Scandal, love, family, and murder combine in this gripping
mystery by critically acclaimed author Emily Arsenault, in
which a young woman's life is turned upside down when her
brother is arrested for murder and she must prove his
innocence
The Battle siblings are used to disappointment. Seven
years
after starting her PhD program—one marriage, one divorce,
three cats and a dog later—Theresa Battle still hasn't
finished her dissertation. Instead of a degree, she's got
a
houseful of adoring pets and a dead-end copywriting job
for
a local candle company.
Jeff, her so-called genius older brother, doesn't have it
together, either. Creative and loyal, he's also aimless,
in
both work and love. But his new girlfriend, Kim, a pretty
waitress in her twenties, appears smitten. When Theresa
agrees to dog-sit Kim's puggle for a weekend, she has no
idea it will be the beginning of a terrifying nightmare
that
will shatter her quiet academic world.
Soon Kim's body is found in the woods, and Jeff becomes
the
prime suspect.
Though the evidence is overwhelming, Theresa knows that
her
brother is not a murderer. As she investigates Kim's past,
she uncovers a treacherous secret involving politics,
murder, and scandal—and becomes entangled in a potentially
dangerous romance. But the deeper she falls into this
troubling case, the more it becomes clear that, in trying
to
save her brother's life, she may be sacrificing her own.
