Release Date: May 15, 2024

Journalist Brogan Gilmore had been a rising star when an unethical shortcut on a story leads to his fall from grace. A chance encounter with convicted murderer Melender Harman a few months after her release from prison provides Brogan with a chance for career redemption—if he can land an interview with her.

After serving her 17-year sentence, Melender has one objective: To uncover the truth about what happened to her cousin the night the toddler disappeared. When Brogan pursues her for an exclusive story, she reluctantly agrees if he’ll help her reexamine the original investigation into Jesse’s presumed kidnapping and murder.

While re-investigating the case, Brogan struggles to keep his objectivity as he begins to believe Melender is innocent of the crime—and starts to envision a possible future together. Then a hocking discovery throws their relationship—and investigation—into turmoil.

As Brogan and Melender come closer to solving what happened to Jesse, will their budding relationship survive the truth?

 

Book Excerpt

“Exactly. Other two robbers had similar masks. The werewolf robber much shorter with lighter skin on his arms. His hand holding gun shook.”

Brogan, writing furiously, gestured for him to continue.

“Then she threw soda bottle. Knocked him in head.” Mr. Patel’s grin stretched wider.

Rather than interrupt with questions as to who “she” was, Brogan let Mr. Patel finish his story.

“Miss Mel’s such a little thing. I forgot she was here. She grab soda bottle and, wham! Clipped masked man in side of head.”

Brogan finished jotting down Mr. Patel’s quote, then looked up. “Who is Miss Mel? Did she knock the alleged robber out?”

“No, but Miss Mel scared him. Robber ran out without money.” Mr. Patel rang up another customer. “I want to give her bonus for quick thinking.”

“Do you mean a reward?” Maybe this story wouldn’t turn out so bad after all. A regular customer thwarting a robbery in such an unusual manner would play well. He’d also do some digging into Veer Patel before he questioned the son. Something about Veer working during all three incidents was one coincidence too many in Brogan’s book.
