After an old friend is murdered, a detective's nightmarish past and comfortable present collide as she hunts a killer...
Detective Mary Joe Court sleeps with a shotgun beside her bed and a loveable bullmastiff at her feet. For the past twelve years, she's hidden from a nightmarish past, but with every passing day, her scars fade, and her heart grows lighter. Now, for the first time in her life, she looks forward to her future. She's happy.
Then she finds the body.
Someone shot the victim in her chest and left her to die in a cheap motel. Joe knew her well. She grew up with her. They were sisters, of a sort.
Twelve years ago, the victim put a gangster in prison. Now that gangster's out, and he's looking to settle scores—Joe included.
Joe has fought to leave her past behind. Now, she has to face it or lose everything she cares about. Because the killer hunting her will tear apart her carefully constructed life piece by piece until there's nothing left.
Unless Joe gets him first.
