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 she 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."
