When health inspector Laura Simonsen begins gathering information on a patient with salmonella poisoning, she has no reason to believe she's dealing with anything out the ordinary. But on the same night the elderly victim dies, the owner of a small meat market is murdered in his parking lot, and Laura suddenly finds herself entangled in something far more hazardous than contaminated food.
Laura and a colleague assist homicide detective Thomas Garcia by investigating the records at the factory where the contaminated food was processed. They discover fraud, theft, and a possible connection to the murder. Perhaps even more unsettling, Thomas shows signs of wanting more than a working relationship with Laura, who's reluctant to start something new after having escaped an abusive husband.
Now Laura must decide how closely she wants to guard her heart and -- more urgently -- figure out how to avoid becoming the next murder victim.
