Bad things happen everywhere. Even in the land of sun and
roses.
When Jude's best friend is found dead in a swimming pool,
her family calls it an accident. Her friends call it
suicide. But Jude calls it what it is: murder. And someone
has to pay.
Now everyone is a suspect—family and friends alike. And Jude
is digging up the past like bones from a shallow grave.
Anything to get closer to the truth. But that's the thing
about secrets. Once they start turning up, nothing is
sacred. And Jude's got a few skeletons of her own.
In a homage to the great noir stories of Los Angeles,
award-winning author Sherri L. Smith's Pasadena is a
tale of love, damage and salvation set against the backdrop
of California's City of Roses.
