Description
As the rain pounded against the windshield, Detective Nell James knew something was off about the 911 call. But what she and her partner, Marcus Camillo, find at the scene of a suspicious heart attack is beyond anything they could have imagined. In the small town of Hadleigh, disenfranchised pathologist Dr. Martin Hilleman has returned to his boyhood home, hoping for a new beginning. But a blackout, a gruesome discovery, and a high-profile case involving local car mogul Max "The Car" Mann give him no time to settle in. When antifreeze is found in Max's system, focus turns to his new wife, Jenny, who has a suspicious track record of dead husbands. As Martin delves deeper into Max's death, he teams up with Nell and Marcus to uncover a web of deceit and corruption tied to Max's dealership. The list of motives and suspects soon multiplies. But when a second round of poisonings hits close to home, the case takes a dangerous turn. Can Martin, Nell, and Marcus solve the case before more lives are lost? Or will Hadleigh's most prominent citizens continue to fall victim to a deadly plot?
