Private Investigator Martina Monroe has hit rock bottom. Once one of the best in the business, her career—and reputation—were shattered after a DUI sent her spiraling. Now reduced to chasing cheating spouses and petty cons, Martina’s desperate for redemption. When a mysterious new client requests her by name to uncover the identity of a baby in a decades-old photograph, it feels like her shot at a comeback.

But the case leads her back to the one place she never wanted to return—her hometown, a city full of secrets she thought she’d escaped.

Partnered with Detective August Hirsch, Martina soon realizes the photograph is just the beginning.
