When a high-powered executive is charged with murder, PI Jenna Wyatt must decide whether to trust the one person she’s never forgiven—or risk letting a killer go free. Jenna Wyatt never expected to see Riley Chatsworth again—not after the betrayal that shattered their friendship at Harvard. But when Riley, now a top executive at a powerful insurance company, is charged with murdering her agency’s biggest client, she pleads with Jenna to clear her name. Torn between distrust and duty, Jenna reluctantly agrees to investigate, wary of the woman who nearly destroyed her life years ago. As Jenna probes into Riley’s company and the victim’s health system, she begins uncovering a dark web of insurance fraud, medical malpractice, and whistleblowers who were silenced for knowing too much. Strange break-ins and cryptic threats soon reveal that this case is far more dangerous than Jenna imagined. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to question Riley’s innocence—wondering if her former friend is still lying, or worse, manipulating her all over again. Teaming up with seasoned PI Jack Parks, Jenna races against time to expose the deadly conspiracy. But in a world where everyone has secrets, trust could be her deadliest mistake. In this gripping thriller, USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson weaves a tale of betrayal, justice, and the high stakes of corporate corruption. Never Speak of It will keep readers guessing until the very last page. ___________________ Praise for Carolyn Ridder “Intelligent, clever and snarky, PI Jenna Wyatt is a woman you don’t want to cross.” —Bruce Robert Coffin, bestselling author of Crimson Thaw "Utterly compelling and taut with tension, Carolyn Ridder Aspenson delivers another must-read series." —Ava Roberts, author of The Perfect Boyfriend “With more twists and turns, bumps and crashes than an Atlanta highway at rush hour, Carolyn Ridder Aspenson's latest series will take your breath away.” —Shannon Baker, award-winning author of Stripped Bare
