And this time, there's a body.


The circumstances are unmistakable: a young woman has been murdered, and suddenly the future of Diane's bookstore hangs in the balance.


Joining forces with detective Eric Barnes, Diane can't resist her forensics-filled past and decides to investigate the murder alongside him. What she couldn't have predicted however, is that the more evidence they uncover, the more it all points to Diane herself.


As a damning case starts to back Diane into a corner, her partnership with Eric is put to the ultimate test as they race to piece together the clues.


Can Diane unravel this mystery before she lands behind bars?

Or will she just become another pawn in a serial-killer's game?
