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.

I liked this book.
I read a lot of “free” books and I also STOP reading a lot of free books. While thrillers aren’t my favorite genre, I enjoyed this one. It grabbed and held my attention. It was reasonably plausable. It was well written enough that the writing didn’t detract from the story.
Great book! The plot was fast paced and enjoyable, the characters were solid, and the story was riveting. The author gives you just enough information to keep you hooked, but not enough to give anything away.
it keep me guessing
This was a new author to me but enjoyed his writing very much and look forward to the next one.
A little different than the usual mystery. I really enjoyed it.
Very fast paced and quite the page turner.
I always love a great detective mystery with a good twist to it. Love these two characters Wallace and Emily. The story line kept me very interested.

Excellent plot development. Unique story.
It’s not often that an original idea (at least to me) shows up, and I’m delighted to report that this book had it all. Suspense, originality, great characters, good writing, and although original, was also believable. Very good read.
The plot twist was new to me. Kind of creepy but totally plausible.
