When an attorney is murdered on her doorstop in a wealthy DC enclave, Detective Earl Wallace and his new partner are assigned to the case. As the detectives uncover the details surrounding the suspicious death, a visit to the Medical Examiner provides evidence that sends their investigation into a tailspin. Meanwhile, Dan Lord – a private investigator with a law degree who operates in the gray … the gray area of the legal system – has a new client. Hired by a congressman’s wife who fears for her safety, Dan soon learns she isn’t telling him the whole truth. A secret from her past has taken a deadly turn, and Dan’s latest client is proving to be his most dangerous.
As Dan and the DC detectives work their respective cases, a random street crime brings them crashing together, revealing that both investigations are connected to a string of unsolved murders. Working as a team, each new piece of evidence puts Dan and the detectives closer to their suspect . . . and closer to danger.
To survive, they need to learn the truth behind one Terminal Secret.

Very very good reading
Very good writing & story telling. Personally I just find an independently wealthy main character a bit far fetched. It makes for a great story, just not realistic.
Very well written. You want to keep right on reading. I recommend
real good read
The second book in a series and even more enjoyable than the first. It really kept me guessing. I hope there are more to come.
Lots of twists and turns in this one.
Well thought out mystery. Writing style put me in mind of Robert Parker.
Liked the characters and it really kept my interest.
Although the shoreline was a bit bizarre, I found the various situations compelling. I just had to find out what was motivating someone to set them up. It read well and didn’t get bogged down.
Jumbled; pretty much far fetched.
Fast moving.
