Abbie DiAngelo finally has the life she's always wanted. She has gotten past her divorce and cherishes her eight-year-old son, Ben. Her restaurant is making money and she is being heralded as the hot new chef.
Then her stepbrother re-enters her life. Straight out of prison, Ian MacGregor shows up at Abbie's door claiming to have proof that implicates her mother in a twenty-five-year-old murder. Proof Ian will keep to himself . . . if Abbie pays for his silence. But when she arrives to pay Ian off, she finds his murdered body.
Homicide detective John Ryan quickly realises there is more to the murder than he originally thought. And no one, especially Abbie, is telling him the truth. When Abbie's son, Ben, is kidnapped, however, Abbie has no choice but to trust John. Because someone desperate is acting with deadly intent.
