Ex-cop Willa Pennington is asked to help a friend's daughter move out from her abusive boyfriend's apartment. This simple favor soon is complicated by a dead body (the boyfriend) and a missing person (the friend's daughter). Now Willa is drawn into a battle of wits with an old friend who has dangerous secrets. Secrets that lead into a labyrinth of lies and deception in the shadows of Washington, D.C.
"People move to the suburbs for a better life--nice houses, good schools, safe communities. But there's no place you can go that's completely safe from danger. Willa Pennington knows this all too well after her first PI case almost got her killed. Helping her old mentor review a decades-old cold case seems much safer. Then she reaches out to a teenager in trouble, and suddenly a new case rips into Willa's life in a way she could have never predicted. It seems menace is always lying in wait behind someone's door. Especially on the dark streets of the cold suburbs."--Provided by publisher
