New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown delivers a gripping tale of corruption, betrayal, and the abuse of power. Newswoman Britt Shelley awakens next to Jay Burgess, a detective in the Charleston PD, with no memory of how they ended up together—or of Jay’s subsequent death. Jay was celebrated for his bravery during a catastrophic fire that claimed seven lives and destroyed the police headquarters five years prior. Raley Gannon, a firefighter and Jay's lifelong friend, was off-duty that day but later assigned to investigate the fire's cause. His life was upended when he was betrayed by those he trusted, losing both his love and his career aspirations. Now, with Jay's shocking death and Britt's claim of amnesia, Raley sees a chance for vindication and justice for the fire's victims. As the investigation unfolds, suspicion mounts against Britt, who was Jay's last companion. Raley realizes that uncovering the truth about the past may be his only path to redemption. However, powerful figures are determined to keep the fire's secrets buried, willing to go to any lengths to protect their reputations. As Raley and Britt dig deeper, they find themselves in increasing danger, navigating a world where friends become foes and heroes are tarnished. In this intense narrative, the fight against audacious corruption reveals the courage needed to confront it.
