Ellie Matthews' life changed the day she discovered that the brutally dismembered Jane Doe she'd been examining for a month was her estranged mother.

But her tentative peace is shattered when the body of a female student is discovered on college property and a close colleague is named the key suspect. Ellie watches in disbelief as evidence begins to pile up against her good-natured friend and whispers of salacious affairs and toxic secrets spread.
When the murder investigation takes a terrifying turn, Ellie is compelled to help, reassuring herself that this is just a job—it isn't personal. But as she races to make sense of the evidence, a predator with everything to lose circles closer, and Ellie is in the crosshairs.
