Finding the body of his former lover, Beth Larkin, in a car on his property is not how car restorer Dan Gallagher planned to start his week. The question isn’t just who killed her—but why she was left there. Was it convenience, a calculated attempt to ruin his reputation, or a message meant for him alone? With suspicion closing in, Dan teams up with his best friend, Schuylerton Police Chief Andy Cummings, to unravel a trail of secrets. Each clue pulls Dan deeper into a past he thought he’d buried—and closer to a killer who’s still watching. As the truth comes into focus, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: solving the murder may cost Dan everything, including Stephanie Mercer, the woman he loves.
