Eleanor Garrett has already buried a husband and son. She won't bury an accusation she didn't earn.
She wanted to disappear into her new job. Grieve quietly. Rebuild what's left of her life.
Instead, she's a murder suspect.
A man collapses in an almost-empty tearoom, choking. Eleanor does what anyone would do-she tries to save him. He dies in her arms anyway.
The police aren't interested in her good intentions. Not when CCTV surfaces showing Eleanor in a heated confrontation with the victim hours earlier-stepping between him and a frightened child he'd been berating.
He had enemies. Plenty of them. But Eleanor's the outsider. The grieving widow still raw from her own losses. The woman who'd already made herself a target by standing up to him.
She's the perfect suspect.
As the investigation tightens around her, Eleanor realises the truth: someone wanted this man dead. And they're perfectly content to let her take the fall.
Now she has to prove her innocence-without losing what's left of herself in the process.
