About the Book

"For Tess Monaghan..."

The story unfolds with Tess Monaghan, an investigator with a penchant for solving complex cases. When she takes on a new role as a consultant to a local newspaper, she finds herself entangled in the unsolved murder of a young federal prosecutor. However, this case becomes far more tangible when her boyfriend brings home a street kid who holds a crucial key to the man's death.

Tess' commitment to protect the boy's identity is put to the test as one of his friends meets an untimely demise in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. As federal agents press for information, Tess faces felony charges and her boyfriend goes into hiding with their young protégé, forcing Tess to navigate a treacherous web of deceit.
