From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a gripping police procedural where the burden of identifying a nameless murder victim pulls Detective Madison Knight into a world where no one is who they seem.

Someone tried to erase her. Madison won’t let that happen.

While preparing for an open house, a realtor discovers the body of a woman in the backyard shed. When Detective Madison Knight responds to the scene, she is met with a victim who has no wallet, no phone, and no identity. All Madison has to go on are two cryptic letters written in blood and a handwritten note bearing a man’s name and phone number.

As Madison digs into the woman’s final days, she uncovers a life shattered by deceit. An unfaithful ex-husband and a former lover conned her out of every cent she owned. Even the victim’s own journal reveals she intended to blow the whistle on a massive insurance fraud scheme. But who had the most to lose—and the most to protect?

Madison suspects the blood-written letters hold the key to catching the killer, but a discovery on the victim’s laptop sets the investigation in an unexpected direction. If Madison’s right, she will soon come face to face with a killer who’s already proven they’re willing to murder to protect their secrets.

Perfect for fans of relentless detectives, realistic police procedurals, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Readers who enjoy D. K. Hood, Patricia Gibney, and M. A. Comley will love this tense crime thriller.
