Penny Crown and her husband Mark are living their dream with their teen daughter, Lisa, in Kerra, Georgia, a distant suburb of Atlanta. Mark is a detective with Kerra PD, Lisa, a senior in high school and swim team member. Then tragedy strikes. Penny’s family member is murdered.
The investigation is frustrating, infuriating. Trusted friends lie. Authorities lie. They blame a South Side gang for the murder. Fed up, Penny prepares for the exam to get her private investigator’s credentials and investigates on her own. She’s determined to find the killer and get justice. Aided by close confidants she runs into trouble with the gang controlling the area. And from there, she is stunned again and again because nothing and no one is as they seem. She started out fearing she’d never reveal the truth under so many layers of lies and deception. As she peels back the layers of duplicity, she grows more confident of exposing the murderer—and less confident of living to prove it in a court of law and keeping her vow to see justice done.
