Product Description
by Axel Blackwell (Author)
Lorena Johnstone, a jaded Major Crimes detective, finds herself in the middle of the mayhem as her new case divides the city and sparks protests.
A young sex worker is found murdered in an upscale neighborhood. Rumors fly about a serial killer. Activists demand police action against prostitution. Social workers insist on protecting the vulnerable. And the working girls just want to be left alone. Johnstone tries to ignore the uproar and work the case, but her informants vanish, and her suspects turn up dead. If she doesn't work quickly, more people will be killed. But this case won't break unless Johnstone faces her own demons. She discovers the only person with the answers she needs is a community outreach worker named Mama Elm. But Elm's loyalties are to her girls. She won't help unless she can trust Johnstone. To connect with Mama Elm and solve her case, Lorena must reveal her own secrets, secrets that long ago forced her to close her heart and shut her family out. Will this case heal Lorena's wounds or just expose how broken she really is? Can she bring the killer to justice before he silences the last witness forever?
