“An intense, thrilling page-turner sure to satisfy any fan of the [crime] genre.” –Goodreads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She read him stories and tucked him at night. She’d kiss his forehead and wish him “pleasant dreams.” But all this is in the past and nothing more than a haunting memory as she looks into his unseeing eyes… Her baby is dead. Martha Cooper has been living with a horrible secret for years, but … with a horrible secret for years, but it all came crashing down when the son she was forced to walk away from turns up dead. Now a grown man of twenty-two, Chris was found washed up on a riverbank during a winter thaw, and it’s Detective Madison Knight who rushes to the crime scene. Martha is quick to point Madison to her ex-husband and the boy’s father, Marcus Randall, for his murder.
But Marcus isn’t about to go down without a fight. As a wealthy and corrupt business tycoon, Marcus pulls on his friendship with the police chief, and the two of them hinder Madison’s investigation. What they fail to see is the resistance only makes Madison more suspicious that Marcus has something to hide. She’s also not about to be bullied into silence—even if it pits her against two of the most powerful men in the city. But Madison will seriously need to consider whether a father betrayed his own son or if it was someone else who killed Chris. If she’s going to find out the truth, she’ll need to follow the evidence and push through all the lies. But Madison quickly discovers that nothing comes without personal cost. Not even justice.
A brilliant, heart-pounding mystery full of twists. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, J.D. Robb, and Lisa Regan.

When the son of a wealthy man shows up dead Madison Wright must try to find out if he was murdered or not and who the killer is.
Very enjoyable.
This was a very good book. I do recommend it.
Just a good who-dun-it.
Good book, highly recommended
Kind of long and drawn out for where it ended up. Not very suspenseful for all the possible directions the investigation hinted at.
A rainy day read.
Kept me guessing till the end
The Madison Knight series is a great read. I would highly recommend if you like crime stories!
A book that has you cheering for a person who is willing to risk her career to bring a victim justice.
Writers need to give attention to all aspects of writing. Spelling, grammar, and word meanings. Sadly, these are too often overlooked, especially in e-books.
Very fast moving novel. Hard to put down
I like the main character as well as her partner. Carolyn Arnold keeps your attention and makes you wonder who dunnit!
Excellent book!!!
I liked this book and could hardly put it down. I liked the characters.
