sa·mar·i·tan: noun /səˈmærɪt(ə)n/ A compassionate person generous in helping those in distress British investigative journalist Gabriella Reuben—Bree to everyone but her mother—has worked hard to build a new life in Düsseldorf and put the past behind her. That is until she opens her front door to find the corrupt woman who publicly outed Bree as transgender—the same woman now begging for Bree’s help. Petra Keller is a despicable person, uncaring whose reputation she tramples on her way to the top of the corporate ladder. Or is she? Could she be telling the truth that she’s changed? The more Bree looks into Petra’s shocking claims, the more she uncovers facts leading her to a chilling connection between highly respected companies, their owners and an unthinkable crime. Her investigation becomes even more muddied by cryptic emails, her overprotective brother convincing his enigmatic friend to keep an eye on her and a bombing that lands her in hospital. Instead of being intimidated, Bree’s resolve is strengthened. These powerful men can’t continue to get away with profiting from actions that already resulted in the loss of countless innocent lives—actions that would cost more lives unless Bree gets to the truth. And exposes it. Samaritan is the first book in The Duchess Report trilogy, continuing with Sentinel and concluding with Maecenas.

In a surprising turn of events, Bree's search for Tattoo Guy and Duchess' identity merges with David's hunt for a serial killer. Eager to find answers to the growing pile of questions, Bree accepts David's help as they make their way to Serbia. The urgency of uncovering Duchess' imminent and brutal plan now wars with the race to stop a prolific serial killer from adding another woman to his list of victims.
