PI Dezeray Jackson doesn’t do cold cases—especially not for convicted felons. But when James Keeney, an inmate at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, asks for her help, she can't ignore the nagging feeling that something isn’t right.

Keeney insists he was framed for a murder he didn’t commit, and while Dez isn’t in the habit of trusting repeat offenders, something about his slow Southern drawl and raw desperation makes her pause. Her gut says he’s telling the truth.

As Dez digs into the case, she finds herself entangled in the dark secrets of one of Omaha’s most powerful families. The deeper she goes, the more dangerous the game becomes. Lies, corruption, and buried sins rise to the surface—along with a killer who isn’t done yet.
Can Dez uncover the truth before another body drops?

Fans of Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone, L.T. Ryan’s Rachel Hatch, and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum will love Dez Jackson—a no-nonsense PI with a sharp mind, a sharp shot, and a knack for finding trouble.
