Description
In the previous novel of the Terribly Acronymed Detective Club, "Err on the Side of Violence," Emma told Sunny, "You'll get to be the hero next time." Finally, in this pivotal fourth novel, Sunil Singh Parhar, barrister and solicitor, gets his day in the sun, and it couldn't come at a better time; the LSDC is facing a threat to its very existence. Joe and Lauren are still living apart, talking to a marriage counsellor. Rachel and Al are still living in Lauren's house, exacerbating the problems in Joe and Lauren's marriage. Lauren can't seem to give up Al, and no one seems to be happy. Into this blasted landscape lands a crisis none of them could have ever expected, just as Sunny is in the middle of a campaign for City Council. Jordan Trevelyan, the man who once dated Sunny's late sister, has turned up again, claiming another woman he's dating has gone missing, and Sunny, who's never gotten over how he failed his sister, can't turn him away. When the LSDC investigates, however, they find the case isn't as simple as Jordan thinks it is, and when they attract the attention of the wrong people in high places, they'll find themselves in more danger than they've ever faced before, and one of them will be brought to the brink of death itself.
Chapter One: Lauren, Friday
