Phair would’ve preferred an easier case to crack. She’s feeling pressure from all sides: from her new mentor, the brilliant homicide detective Alton Dean; from her captain, who’s scheming to take Dean down; and most importantly from herself, as she tries to prove she’s worthy of Dean’s trust.
But there’s no time for self-doubt, as murder isn’t the only thing on the menu. As Phair uncovers a tangled web of abuse, blackmail, and identity theft, she’s left wondering how deep the rabbit hole goes. Fire may have licked clean THE BURNT REMAINS, but it’ll take more than that to cleanse the hearts of those involved.
