Excerpt
But why should Marlee jump at his call?
Hunter Shelton was from her past and better off left there. But he also had been in distress. This case was more than a missing child, just as he’d said.
Personal.
Someone had been murdered. Someone he knew. There were also drugs involved, and that was Marlee’s specialty.
She felt the typical excitement for the hunt well up within her. She and Gustav sniffed out drug houses daily for the pure joy of it. She’d vowed to shut down every one of the despicable sites.
For Ben.
But Ben would expect her to help his lifelong best friend now. Could she do this for her brother? Could she face the man she blamed for Ben’s death? She hadn’t spoken to Hunter in eight years and had never planned to again.
Except, here she was climbing out of bed, knowing in a few hours, their paths would cross regardless.
