Evie Hartley was once a rising star in the world of crime reporting, but a series of scandalous ethical missteps cost her career and her reputation. Now, working at a small-town newspaper, she's desperate to prove herself again--this time by playing it straight in the culture section.

When the crime beat opens up, Evie seizes the opportunity to reclaim her former glory. Her investigative skills impress her boss, but her bold methods make a powerful enemy out of Detective Marcus "Penn" Pennington. A former ally turned foe, Penn distrusts Evie's underhanded tactics--even as she cracks a case the police couldn't solve. Reluctantly, Penn becomes her go-to source, and together they uncover chilling secrets that go far beyond the public eye.

But Evie's insatiable hunger for truth drags her into a dangerous game. When she stumbles onto a cold case and receives ominous threats from an anonymous figure, the stakes become deadly. As Evie forms a questionable alliance with someone who knows far too much about the missing person's disappearance, Penn's protective instincts intensify--leading him to blur the lines between concern and obsession.

With her career--and her life--on the line, Evie must decide how far she's willing to go to get the truth. But as the tension escalates, one thing is clear: uncovering the truth could be the last story she ever tells.
