When a dead body rolls off the bed of a truck, directly in front of Kate Rosetti on a busy highway, the homicide detective starts to wonder if she’s cursed. Dead bodies have a way of following her around, and this guy definitely wasn’t killed by accident.

Before she knows it, Detective Rosetti is sucked into an investigation before it's even called in to the precinct—a record, even for her. To make matters worse, Kate’s sort-of boyfriend was driving at the time, and now he’s also invested in the murder investigation. What starts off as a simple homicide case, however, quickly morphs into something bigger, something darker, something that could get someone seriously hurt—or worse.

A murder, a little girl’s kidnapping, a convoluted business venture—if Kate and her team can’t wrap up this case quickly, she fears it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
