A tenacious reporter. A skeptical PI. And a secret that will shatter lives.

Reporter Moira Harrison is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a lone figure suddenly appears in the beam of her headlights, Moira slams on her brakes-but it’s too late. She feels the solid thump against the side of her car before crashing into a tree on the far side of the road.

A man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then the world fades to black. When she comes to, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person. But she can’t forget the look of terror she saw on that face in the instant before her headlights swung away. And she can’t get anyone to believe her story-except maybe a handsome ex–homicide detective turned private eye, who reluctantly agrees to take on the case.

As clues begin to surface, it becomes obvious that someone doesn’t want this mystery solved-and will stop at nothing to protect a shocking secret.

My Take:

The engaging and suspenseful storyline within this first novel in the new Private Justice Series will keep you turning the pages as investigative journalist, Moira Harrison tries to get someone, anyone to listen to her regarding the dark stormy night that she is positive that she hit someone. The terrified face still haunts her.

Private investigator, Cal Burke whose wife passed away five years ago, decides to take on this case. Both Moira and Cal couldn't deny that there was chemistry between them from the get-go. However, both had past baggage to resolve before they could move forward.

The plot thickens as they search for the elusive person that was hit. There are many surprises around the curve as this mystery begins to unfold.
