Uncovering far too many suspects, none of whom could have committed the crime, their search sends them hunting through cold cases… and wondering when the killer may strike again. Treading carefully in her personal quest to uncover the truth behind her fiancé’s death and his mysterious connection to one of Southern California’s most dangerous crime families, Kat must race against the clock to solve the drowning, while covertly using her instant photographs to keep her memories—and her career—from coming unglued.
