About this audiobook
Phoenix homicide detective Nora Stedler has spent twelve years building walls around her heart. Brilliant but isolated, she channels her grief over her mother's death into solving cases no one else can crack. She doesn't do relationships. She doesn't take risks. She definitely doesn't fall for witnesses.
Until she meets John Beale.
When recovering addict Cathy Morrison vanishes, Nora's investigation leads her to Beale Construction, where foreman John Beale offers crucial information about the missing woman. He's charming, damaged, and understands the weight of the job in ways no one else does. Against every instinct, Nora lets him in.
But as Nora falls deeper, inconsistencies emerge. The case she thought was closed begins to unravel. And the man she's learning to trust might be hiding the deadliest secret of all.
Nora must decide what she's willing to sacrifice for justice.
Because some foundations are built to last. And some are built on lies.
