Watching her friend dragged away in handcuffs, Josie couldn't believe
for one second that Gretchen had killed that poor boy. Confession or
not, someone else was involved. She would find out who...
When the body of a young student is found on the driveway of a local
Denton home, a photograph pinned to his collar, Detective Josie Quinn is
first on the scene. The house belongs to Gretchen Palmer, a dedicated
member of Josie's team, missing for the last twenty-four hours.
Working around the clock, Josie is stopped in her tracks when Gretchen
hands herself in to the police. She knows that there's no way Gretchen
could ever be a killer, so why would she confess to a murder she didn't
commit?
Digging deep into Gretchen's secretive life, Josie uncovers a link
between the boy, the photograph and a devastating case in Gretchen's
past. But just when Josie thinks she has it all figured out, the bodies
of a young couple surface on the other side of town. Can Josie get to
the truth in time to save her friend from a life in prison or certain
death?
