WINNER OF THE 2021 SUE GRAFTON MEMORIAL AWARD The 'splendid genre-pushing' (People) Vera Kelly series returns in full force as our recently out-of-the-spy-game heroine finds herself traveling from Brooklyn to a sprawling countryside estate in the Caribbean in her first case...
When exCIA agent Vera loses her job and her girlfriend in a single day, she reluctantly goes into business as a private detective. Heartbroken and cashstrapped, she takes a case that dredges up dark memories and attracts dangerous characters. Before it's over, she'll chase a lost child through foster care and follow a trail of Dominican exiles to the Caribbean. Forever looking over her shoulder, she nearly misses what's right in front of her: her own desire for home, connection, and a new romance
