About
Perfect for fans of Hannah Morrissey and May Cobb. Vanessa Cuti's sizzling debut is a taut thriller that puts us face-to-face with a cop gone really bad.
Anxious to get married, thirty-year-old Virginia Carey lands a job as an operator at a police tip line, where she thinks finding a husband should be easy. There's Charlie Ford, a homicide detective who seems to check all the right boxes. But on the afternoon of their planned first date, Virginia receives a call from a mysterious woman about four bodies on a remote local beach and Charlie is diverted to the case. Enter police chief Declan "Deck" Brady, charming and charismatic but with a checkered past. Easy decision: move on from Charlie and seduce the Chief instead.
Then comes a serious tip from Verona, a sex worker who provides Virginia details on sordid and raucous parties attended by law enforcement officers, and on the strange fetishes of cops she has been involved with. She also hints that Declan could be responsible for the women's' deaths. Refusing to believe it's true, Virginia questions her new beau. Why has he never been married? Has he ever done anything bad? What's the worst thing he's ever done?
Then, another body turns up, and Virginia realizes that Deck couldn't be the killer, because she was with him the night before-but can she be sure it was the entire night?
