Publisher's summary

A tangled web of deception and duplicity where predators are shielded by respectability and no one is safe.

Kate Medina had been working as a forensic psychologist and loving every minute, until a violent attack left her shaken to the core. She’s retreated to her hometown where it’s safe, accepting a job where the prospect of violence is slim to none. As a high school psychologist, Kate tends to the emotional needs of the youth. It’s not the career she envisioned.

Five years later, a student disappears, leaving the school in crisis. Roman Aguilar, the lead detective, reaches out to Kate for assistance. Kate’s position at the school and her training make her an ideal ally, but her complicated relationship with Roman puts them at odds.

When the girl’s body is found, changing the focus of the investigation to homicide, Kate finds herself in the middle of a situation she never anticipated. What started as her desire to help puts Kate directly in the crosshairs of an enemy who remains largely in shadow. As her past and present collide, Kate is dragged into the middle of a dangerous game where only one thing is clear - no one can be trusted.

Realistic fiction

This is a superbly written fiction story that kept me interested. I enjoyed hearing Hispanic names for the characters and the setting in New Mexico. The story has enough twists to keep the reader guessing about where it will end.

Realistic fiction

This book sheds light on many true life situations and reactions even though it is a work of fiction. Most often works of fiction bring some realization to real life issues and this is one of those books. It is a heavy read for anyone who has gone through abuse in their life so be forewarned.
