As revelations about Caroline Ashby's secret life unfold, private detective Sloane Monroe takes the case, but it won't take long to find the killer. He's been watching, carefully tracking her every move. And now Sloane's own life is in grave danger. If you're a fan of Sue Grafton and Mary Higgins Clark, you'll enjoy the Sloane Monroe series.
