Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy procedural crime thrillers with a personal twist, where the detective's case and past traumas collide.
  • You like stories about corrupt elites getting what's coming to them, with moral ambiguity about justice versus vengeance.
  • You want a fast-paced read with multiple twists that doesn't bog you down in unnecessarily complex plots.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries or police procedurals that focus purely on puzzle-solving without emotional stakes.

About this book

In Atlanta, a killer targets the city's most powerful tech and healthcare billionaires, each with a history of unethical practices. As bodies accumulate, Detective Meredith Somerset is drawn into a high-stakes investigation. Somerset faces mounting pressure from the media and the city's elite while pursuing the killer. She is also haunted by anonymous emails connected to her sister's abduction, forcing her to confront personal demons alongside the case. As she investigates, Somerset uncovers layers of corruption, betrayal, and hidden agendas. She discovers that justice and vengeance may be more closely connected than she anticipated. The investigation becomes a race against time as the killer continues his work.
