She needs another client…not another corpse.

Hale Mary has always had a soft spot for lost causes. Perhaps because she’s always felt like one herself. Which is why her talent management agency’s client list is filled with misfits, miscreants, and underachievers.

But Ross Johnston is not an underdog. As the fan-favorite on the Arizona NHL hockey team, he’s one of the best enforcers in the league. And one of the most well-compensated.

And if it wasn’t for the hooker incident at the Four Seasons, he’d be Hale’s ideal client.

But the hooker incident isn’t the worst of Ross’ problems. His wife and her alleged lover have gone missing with half-a-million dollars of their savings. When the lover is found murdered, Ross becomes the primary suspect.

With Ross swearing he's innocent, Hale jumps to his defense. But when the clues lead down paths she hadn’t expected, will her doubts in Ross’ innocence seal his fate? Or will her belief in him help a killer get away with murder?
