Scandal, love, family, and murder combine in this gripping literary
mystery by critically acclaimed author Emily Arsenault, in which a
young academic's life is turned upside down when her brother is
arrested for murder and she must prove his innocence. The Battle
siblings are used to disappointment. Seven years, one marriage and
divorce, three cats, and a dog later, Theresa still hasn't finished
her dissertation. Instead of a degree, she's got a houseful of
adoring pets and a dead-end copywriting job for a local candle
company. Jeff, her so-called genius older brother, doesn't have it
together, either. Creative, and loyal, he's also aimless in work
and love. But his new girlfriend, Kim, a pretty waitress in her
twenties, appears smitten. When Theresa agrees to dog-sit Kim's
puggle for a weekend, she has no idea that it is the beginning of a
terrifying nightmare that will shatter her quiet world. Soon, Kim's
body will be found in the woods, and Jeff will become the prime
suspect. Though the evidence is overwhelming, Theresa knows that
her brother is not a cold-blooded murderer. But to clear him she
must find out more about Kim. Investigating the dead woman's past,
Theresa uncovers a treacherous secret involving politics, murder,
and scandal-and becomes entangled in a potentially dangerous
romance. But the deeper she falls into this troubling case, the
more it becomes clear that, in trying to save her brother's life,
she may be sacrificing her own.
