A Washington reporter turns sleuth to find her sister's killer in this thrilling mystery series debut.
Washington News reporter Sutton McPhee is in a funk. After landing a dream assignment covering education for a major newspaper in the nation's capital, the daily grind quickly lost its luster. But her professional doldrums are nothing compared to the devastating news that her younger sister, Cara, has been murdered. Working as a church secretary, Cara was loved by friends and congregation alike. So her death by gunshot in a bank parking lot has left everyone mystified—especially Sutton.
When the police investigation stalls, Sutton decides to solve Cara's murder herself. The more she learns about her sister's life, the more determined she becomes to find the ruthless killer who took it. But as Sutton digs deeper, she soon finds herself in a world where religious faith and power are masks for blackmail, greed, perversion, and worse—and where Sutton soon finds her own life on the line.
