My name is Brannon "Bran" Walker. I'm a private investigator, hired by Millicent Ashley's father to do a background check on her fiance, Tom Grant. Then Millie dies under suspicious circumstances during the engagement party for her and Tom—a party I attended. Murder? I think so, and I intend to prove it.Duncan "Dunc" Raines, the lead detective in the case—and my ex-lover—tells me to keep my nose out of his investigation. No surprise, I ignore his order—and try to ignore him—as I begin digging into who might have decided a dead fiancee is preferable to a living bride. Suspects are numerous, and someone wants me to stop looking for the murderer, if they have to kill me to make that happen. As if. I intend to show Dunc that a PI can be just as good as a cop at uncovering a killer.
