Natalie Joday, a newspaper reporter with a knack for getting at the facts, is pulled into a murder investigation by a tormented young woman's cry for help. But her compassion turns to fear when she discovers her brother, always a magnet for trouble, is somehow involved. A lifetime of painful run-ins with the legal system has left Natalie wary of the police, so she sets out to solve the case herself by uncovering the secrets of the past--even when the secrets are her own.
