At midnight, Laura Goodman was found dead—eyes wide, mouth frozen, and an ace of spades placed neatly on her chest.
Detective Rachel Kennedy doesn’t believe in coincidences. The murder was staged, the message deliberate. As Rachel digs into Laura’s privileged but secretive life, she uncovers whispers of blackmail, betrayal, and a family legacy steeped in silence.
Someone is playing a deadly game.
And the ace of spades was only their opening move.
