Former homicide detective Nicole Foster has hit rock bottom. Driven off the force by her treacherous partner and lover, she’s flat broke and struggling with a gambling addiction. All Nicole has left is the dream of a warm bed at a homeless shelter and the haunting memories of three-year-old Kelsey Chase—whose murder case ended her career.
As Nicole obsesses over the old facts, she realizes everything about that case felt off: a disinterested mom, a suicidal pedophile, and too many questions left unanswered. When the little girl’s grieving father begs Nicole for help, she’s drawn back into the investigation…and given one shot at redemption.
But the deeper Nicole digs, the more evil she uncovers, including betrayals that hit painfully close to home. Will a shocking discovery be the key to finally getting justice for Kelsey and resurrecting her own life?

Warning--This is not a romance. Occasionally I like a good suspense /Thriller
this story is about a missing child that has been murdered and possible child porn. It is not explicit or doesn't go into details it is handled tastefully. It is also about addiction (Gambling), so if this is a possible trigger, this may not be for you. All that being said, I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read more from this Author.
Nicole is a police detective. She is involved with her Narcissistic partner. She has a love/hate relationship with her sister. And she has a gambling addiction. After a case of a missing child, she finds herself falling further and further down a rabbit hole. Once she reaches rock bottom finding herself in a women's shelter, jobless homeless, having to give up her dog, lost and alone.
Help comes in the most unexpected place. The father of the missing girl asks for her help to solve the crime since the police department closed the case after Danny, Nicole's Partner, tampered with evidence and the man arrested for the crime committed suicide.
All I can say is WOW. This is a new to me author and it won't be the last book I read. I loved the descriptions and the emotions you could feel from Nicole. The story is very angsty, the mystery is grim, the topic one of those that make us cringe, yet it was all handled with taste. It seemed obvious of the murderer then I was torn between two... wow was there twists in this story! The ending was explosive and totally unexpected. I will warn you again this is not an HEA type story.
I was just floored. Fantastic story!
If you like a good Mystery /suspense, thriller, police procedure, story of flawed characters, lots of twists and turns and a very different shocking ending this is for you! I highly recommend it. It's on my top 10 lists for this year!
