A surgeon lies dead in the operating room. Detective Flowers swore she'd never return.
Trauma surgeon Dr. Warren Acres died in operating room four. His powerful father demands answers. But everyone at Legacy Medical Center is lying.
For Detective Christine Flowers, this case is personal—and dangerous. She’s a surgeon-turned-cop investigating her former colleagues, and returning to Legacy Medical means confronting the secrets she left behind.
Her new partner, Detective Sophia Steele, doesn’t believe Flowers is telling the whole truth. The victim’s family is blocking the investigation at every turn. And Flowers has a secret from her time at Legacy—one the killer knows about. If it comes out, she won't just lose her badge. She'll face criminal charges.
As the lies unravel, Flowers realizes Warren wasn’t just murdered. He was silenced. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more her own past threatens to destroy her.
Some secrets are worth killing for. Others are worth dying to protect.
This book will appeal to fans of Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen, and Lisa Gardner.
