A spiraling case of betrayal, corruption, and murder could destroy Eve Ronin if she exposes it in a gripping thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg
A 55-gallon drum washes up in the Malibu Lagoon stuffed with the corpse of Gene Dent, the key player in a bribery scandal that ensnared several local politicians. LASD detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone know the case well and all the likely suspects. But just as they begin their investigation, the Sheriff publicly reveals evidence linking the crime to L.A’s Mayor.
But Eve and Duncan realize the bombshell allegation, true or not, arises from corruption within the Sheriff’s own office… because they helped cover it up years ago. If the Sheriff goes down, so will they.
Eve is agonizing over her moral dilemma when a helicopter crashes into the hillside below her Calabasas home. It’s not a coincidence. Eve soon discovers shocking connections among the twisted wreckage and the dead passengers to her own past…and that leads to a fight for her life.
