What at first appears to be a suicide soon becomes a homicide investigation with Gail as the prime suspect. To defend herself, Gail must unravel the tangled web of her wild younger sister's life, which includes connections to drug traffickers, a Native American artifact, Gail's own estranged husband, and a handsome Cuban-American attorney, Anthony Quintana, to whom Gail is strongly attracted. But who can she trust as she fights for justice for her sister and herself? <p/> Written by a former prosecutor, the first book in the <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling Suspicion series delivers "a sun-drenched variation on the work of Scott Turow and Patricia Cornwell" (<i>Library Journal</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Barbara Parker was trained as a lawyer and worked as a prosecutor with the state attorney's office in Dade County, Florida, before moving into a private practice that specialized in real estate and family law.
