Description: The murder of an East Yorkshire man puts private investigator Annie Raymond in the odd position of being hired by two clients working at cross-purposes. The accused, Joshua Yates, sits behind bars, and his girlfriend wants Annie to prove his innocence. The dead man's friend, however, asks Annie to help make sure Yates is committed to an institution. It's a troubling case, and Annie's boss is paying close attention to how she handles herself. So is Kate Ronsen, the jealous femal detective now engaged to Annie's ex. Annie's gut tells her the case is more complicated than her clients will admit. Soon, a story littered by dark deeds, betrayal and mistaken identity emerges, as does the discovery of mysterious skeletal remains. But the price of uncovering the truth may be Annie's own life.
