About this book

Detective Josie Quinn returns home to find her house ransacked and her husband Noah missing. Blood stains the walls and furniture, with Noah's handprints trailing through the rooms. Hours earlier, Josie had left to investigate the discovery of a woman's body at a protest outside a children's hospital. She and Noah had been preparing a nursery for their first adopted child. Josie's team warns her to stay away from the investigation as they pursue a connection to a recent robbery in Denton. However, Josie notices Noah's handprints lead to a box containing her long-dead abusive mother's possessions: photographs, jewelry, a lock of hair, and newspaper clippings. The victim is identified as Gina Phelan, daughter of the powerful Phelan family. When fingerprints from the knife that wounded Gina match prints found in Josie's home, the two cases collide. Confronted by trauma from her past while desperate to find Noah, Josie must investigate her mother's history. The answers she seeks are hidden in her mother's mementos, but uncovering them may come at a devastating cost to those she loves most.
