Synopsis: Did he kill Josie Skerritt?

Everyone—including the police—suspected Parker Buchanan of the ten-year-old murder. They even had incriminating evidence against him that Parker couldn't—or wouldn't—explain away. But Kate Brooks knew the brooding loner couldn't have done it. He was her young son's hero, and Kate had fallen hard for the reclusive author.

Kate knew proving his innocence would take all their faith and fast thinking combined. Because the real killer was setting them up for a double murder…their own.
