Three people involved in a bed of lies.

Two little girls refusing to tell what they saw.

One woman intent to discover the truth.

When tech consultant, Susan O'Neil, finds two starving children digging through her trash, her first instinct is to help. Her second is to call the only person she believes she can trust: Jim Russell, the charming, childhood friend who broke her heart and is now the town detective. But Cassie and Ellie aren't just hungry runaways?they're witnesses to a heinous crime that leads to the dark depths of the underworld.

Unaware that Cassie and Ellie's past is a political time bomb, Susan and Jim follow a trail of deception from the opulent halls of Baltimore's city government to the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. They risk their lives and their hearts to uncover a shadowy conspiracy concealing countless untold secrets. As the body count rises, Susan and Jim realize they're up against a killer more ruthless than they ever imagined?and his network of influence runs deeper than they ever feared.
