Meet Hailey Dean, a young and tremendously successful criminal prosecutor who, after the sudden death of her fiance, becomes disillusioned with her profession and closes herself off from life as she knows it in an effort to block out the pain. Grief-stricken, she decides to move from her home in Georgia to New York City for a change of pace and surroundings.
In New York, Hailey embarks on a new career as a therapist and finally starts to feel settled in her new life when she's swept under another tidal wave of turmoil. As her patients are murdered one by one in the same way as the victims in the last case Hailey prosecuted, she is forced to face the fact that she cannot escape the past she tried so hard to leave behind, and can't turn her back on her true calling.
This novel, the first of two, is inspired by Nancy Grace's own beginnings as a prosecutor and the untimely and tragic death of her fiancé. It is a gripping mystery full of great southern flavor and a good dash of politics and intrigue that thrills from start to finish.
