Book Genre:Thriller
Release Date: September 1, 2018

Synopsis: Track star, Ashley Lambert, has just been accepted into the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, so when she jumps eighteen stories to her death her parents hire the PI team of Griff Cole and Britt Callahan to find outwhy. The investigation exposes a deeply disturbed family hiding behind a façade of perfection and follows Ashley’s descent into performance enhancing drugs and blackmail. Ashley’s coaches, peers and even her parents come into question. The disturbing truth behind Ashley’s death is testimony to lines crossed and allegiances sworn…in the name of love.
Meanwhile, Britt’s working overtime researching their new neighbors whose one-year-old son disappeared four years ago. Things don’t add up next door. Rhea McKenzie has a secret and Britt knows bruises aren’t the only thing she’s trying to hide. When an off-hand comment discloses a connection to Ashley Lambert the two cases become entwined, setting off an unstoppable chain of events. Britt is sucked into an alliance with Rhea and driven to make decisions that challenge her ethics, threaten her relationship and in the end, push her over a line she never thought she’d cross.

What an exciting synopsis and congratulations to Patricia Hale! I see that this is the 3rd in series, are more books coming or planned?
Great question, Jennifer. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I’m sure Pat has more planned, but I’ll let her tell you about that.
Great to get your book/author reviews each Monday, Judy. You do a wonderful job publicising other authors’ novels and keeping readers informed about your own work. I’m sure it’s very much appreciated. Writing can be a lonely business and networking as you do is so worthwhile. Thanks!
Thank you Gillian. I believe in authors helping authors, it’s a tough business! I hope you check out Pat’s books.
Hi Judy,
