A thriller mixed with a love affair and a driven investigator that is determined to solve the case.

The story has wonderful main characters that you remember and like! A mystery that keeps you reading more and more to the end. A horrible purpose to Samantha's O'Malley's purpose in solving the crime. I want to read the next case this criminal investigator tackles!
