A Washington, DC, crime reporter’s hunt for a story gets her hunted by a killer in this thrilling mystery by the author of Corruption of Power.
With a summer heatwave hitting the nation’s capitol, everyone is out of town—except Washington News reporter Sutton McPhee, who’s sweating bullets on her hunt for a decent story. Even her ride-along with the Fairfax County police yields little of interest. But the summer slump takes a chilling turn when the young officer she rode with is found shot to death in his apartment.
Not long after, a dead body is found in the park where Sutton and the slain officer had responded to a call. Suspecting the two murders are connected, Sutton’s investigation takes her from the corridors of power in Washington to her former life in Florida. It also puts her in the killer’s crosshairs—right alongside handsome police detective Noah Lansing. Now, as the case heats up, Sutton and Noah will have to stay alive long enough to put the culprit on ice.
