Synopsis

A rising star at her prestigious Seattle law firm, Dana Hill knows all about stress. She pours herself into her work and family with all the energy she has. But her carefully balanced life is about to be turned upside down. First a frightening medical diagnosis forces her to reassess her roles as a lawyer, mother, and wife to a man she suddenly no longer trusts. Then her life is rocked further by the shocking and brutal murder of her twin brother.With a smart, iconoclastic detective named Michael Logan as her only ally, Dana dives into the investigation, relentlessly seeking answers to who killed her brother and why. Logan cannot believe that the murder was anything more than a robbery gone terribly wrong. But when Dana uncovers a priceless handcrafted diamond earring in the debris of her twin’s trashed home, the case becomes more sinister. Dana is sure the jewel is the key to her twin’s secrets. And Logan becomes convinced it can help stop a string of cold-blooded murders that have followed in the wake of her brother’s death.As Dana and Logan chase the faint trail of evidence from Seattle to Maui, they threaten the reputation, career, and future of a powerful man who will stop at nothing to protect what he considers his. But for Dana, for whom time has a special meaning, nothing—not even her own life—is more important than finding the truth. She has moved beyond fear and beyond anyone’s attempts at damage control.

Goodreads review by Bionic Jean on March 10, 2024

This will be the first book I have reviewed here, chosen because it is the book I am currently reading, and for no other reason. It is superficially a tale of a strong independent career woman who triumphs over everything - a murdered twin brother, a skunk of a husband, breast cancer - oh and by the......more

Goodreads review by Karen on August 31, 2023

What a phenomenal storyteller. This author continues to bring characters to life through short chapters and interesting plots. This is one of his older stories, but I wanted to read it because lately I am interested in mysteries with twists – and this one certainly does not disappoint. Will we get t......more

Goodreads review by Razvan on August 14, 2024

A promising start, but nothing special afterwards. The earrings story is hardly believable, as Elizabeth didn't notice their absence?!? Killing for a medical file is not an usual (and simple!) method. Meyers, Grant and Crocket are far too bad, the others have not enough depth. Too many books about U......more

A standalone mystery thriller from Robert Dugoni an author I have read a lot of this year. I really enjoy his writing and the research he puts into each novel shows out.
