When Lieutenant Taylor Jackson investigates a brutal killing, she uncovers a web of intimacies, blackmail, and family betrayal in this twisted tale from New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison.

It’s one of the most horrific crimes Nashville’s Lieutenant Taylor Jackson has ever seen: a twenty-six-year-old pregnant woman beaten to death in her own bedroom, her young daughter left to wander the house, alone and covered in blood.

The evidence points squarely at the husband—until Taylor discovers a link to a local trafficking network, one that reaches into the darkest corners of the city. As she closes in on the heart of a vast conspiracy, private videos of Taylor and her former partner surface online.

Publicly humiliated and personally exposed, Taylor must solve the case before her career is permanently destroyed—or her tormenters decide a dead detective is better than a living one.

Revised edition: This edition of Judas Kiss includes editorial revisions.
