Summary

In the dead of night, Holly Matthews—the wife of a New Orleans senator—takes her son and flees for her life. At her mother's deathbed, Attorney Merdith Rawson learns she has a sister and vows to find her.

As Holly and her son try to start over in Bisbee, Arizona, Merdith begins a desperate search for her long-lost sister. Almost instantly, she is attacked and her home ransacked as long buried secrets threaten her life and new hope for Holly and her son.

Meredith will not stop probing even as death stalks her and those around her. Her only help comes from Detective Gage Gaynor, a cynical officer with a checkered past who has an agenda of his own and a deep distrust of her powerful family. Is he a part of evil around her? Or is he a target as well?
