From award-winning author Meg Gardiner, co-author of Michael Mann’s Heat 2—When a controversial female singer is murdered during a concert, forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett fears the act was political.

 

The polarizing pop star was also the President’s ex-wife, with secrets to die for. Now, Jo finds herself in a race to extinguish the conspiracy rumor mill—before it incites a level of violence that reaches America’s highest corridors of power.

 

“Breathless suspense, slick plotting and a cast of compelling characters make this a solid addition to Edgar-winner Gardiner’s dossier of superlative thrillers.”—Booklist, Starred Review
