Random Road introduced Geneva Chase-''a reporter with a compelling voice, a damaged woman who recounts her own bittersweet story as she hunts down clues,'' says Library Journal-to murders straight out of a nightmare-six bodies found naked and cut to ribbons in a posh Connecticut home. Having survived this and a personal tragedy, Geneva's story still includes alcoholism and career challenges compounded by the rocky finances of her newspaper employer. But she's working. She's fighting the urge to reconnect with a magnetic yet married lover. And she's raising a rebellious young lady who is not her daughter but a cherished legacy.
