The second novel featuring true-crime writer Marie Lightfoot.
Sex, violence, evil, and betrayal . . .
The shocking murder case splashed across the Florida headlines has all the right elements for true-crime writer Marie Lightfoot's next bestseller. A charming minister's love affair with a beautiful, wealthy new church member ends in the murder of his wife. The accused now sits on death row, while his lover walks free. Justice appears to have been served, but Marie senses there is more to the story.
From the day two little girls found the dead woman in an abandoned mansion to an unexpected visitor's shattering confession, the case's disturbing twists teach Marie a bone-chilling lesson: underestimating the criminal mind can be deadly.
Award-winning author Nancy Pickard has created a wonderfully unique and intriguing character in the "gutsy and charismatic" (The Fresno Bee) Marie Lightfoot, a woman with a shadowy past and a passion for the truth.
