Secrets of the Cedar Walls

By: Strauss, Beth

Detective Karen Cappelletti returns from vacation to find a search helicopter circling her quiet neighborhood. A young woman has vanished, and the investigation is being led by Karen's careless, corner-cutting nemesis, Dan Brennan.

When the woman is found brutally assaulted and left for dead, the case becomes personal. As Karen uncovers a web of misogyny, corruption, and buried secrets, the investigation forces her to confront memories she has spent years trying to escape.

With the line between hunter and hunted closing fast, Karen must trust her instincts before the truth--and her own voice--are silenced forever.

Gripping, bold, and intensely passionate, this second Detective Karen Cappelletti novel delivers a taut mystery thriller where justice isn't just an allegiance--it's survival.
