The murder of an innocent young woman on a secluded beach draws Palm Beach County Homicide Detective Taylor O’Ryan into the most dangerous investigation of her career.  The hunt for the killer leads her to the pretentious world of Palm Beach, threatening those who have the most to lose. Pulled deeper into the investigation, Taylor finds herself drawn to wealthy developer Nicholas Carrera; an enigmatic man her instincts tell her is central to her case.  It’s a temptation she fights, knowing it could jeopardize her case and the career she’s worked so hard to build.  As the murderer claims more lives and Taylor closes in, he sets his sights on her.  And now solving the case isn’t just a matter of justice it’s a matter of life or death.
