— Library Journal
BOOK I
The Last Time She Saw Him
Julia Gooden remembers nothing about the worst night of her life. Thirty years ago, her nine-year-old brother Ben — the person who promised he would always protect her — was abducted from the room they shared. Try as she might to recall any clue or detail, there is a black hole where Julia’s memories of that terrible event should be.
BOOK II
Duplicity
Julia Gooden is up against the city’s most devious criminal — and her own painful past. After a courthouse bombing kills the key witness set to testify against Detroit crime boss Nick Rossi ... and critically injures Julia’s district attorney husband ... Julia must follow a trail of blackmail, payback, and political ambition, in her effort to pin Rossi for the attack. Julia has risked her career before, but this time innocent lives — including her children’s — hang in the balance.
BOOK III
Worth Killing For
Julia Gooden has no choice but to team up with her con man father, who abandoned her as a little girl, so she can decipher whether a stranger vowing he's the brother she lost in a child abduction case is who he claims to be, or if it’s a trap to ensure the many sins of her father will be paid in full this time.
BOOK IV
You Fit the Pattern
The Magic Man Killer is murdering female runners who have one thing in common: they all bear a striking resemblance to crime reporter Julia Gooden. Now Julia must find the killer … who leads Julia on a macabre scavenger hunt using clues that dare her to find his next victim … before she becomes his final kill.
