"Captivating & masterful!"

Dez hates cold cases. But she can't walk away when someone asks for her help. Even if that person is a convicted felon.

When James Keeney requests a meeting with Dez, she's reluctant to accept. But curiosity gets the better of her and she shows up at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Keeney shares his sob story about being strung up for a murder he swears he didn't commit and begs her to help him. Dez isn't sure she can believe a guy who's on the hook for his second B&E. But ever since meeting Keeney and hearing his lazy Southern drawl, she's had a soft spot for him. Her gut tells her that they've got the wrong guy.

Dez's inquiries put her on a path that threatens to expose the secrets and lies of one of Omaha's wealthiest and most prominent families. The closer she gets to uncovering the truth, the more twisted the revelations. Will she be able to identify the killer before someone else dies?
