No job. Her home under threat. And a dead body on her doorstep.

Lexi's last case nearly destroyed her—leaving her without a job, her best friend, or hope. Now, just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, the local council has voted to demolish her street to make way for a motorway ramp. Her cozy cottage, her sanctuary, is next in line for the bulldozers.

Injured, exhausted, and on the brink of losing everything, Lexi is desperate. The residents of her beloved Drake Street are rallying to fight the decision, but rumors swirl that the corrupt council chair forced the vote. Everyone despises him. They all want revenge.

But Lexi doesn't have time to join the fight. Because the most hated man in town just showed up dead on her doorstep. The police zero in on her. She has his blood on her hands and no idea why he visited her after dark.

As she battles unemployment, looming eviction, and jail, Lexi works at solving the mystery of the dead councillor before she's the one wearing handcuffs.

Get stuck into this gripping mystery now.
