Everyone is lying, including her father, her client....and her girlfriend.

When her girlfriend Molly Nelson is among the responders, she is happy to let the professionals take control of the case.
When a former client asks for Ari's representation, she's loathe to turn down the business, even if it Biz Strong, the one woman Molly does not want to have any part of Ari's life. Tensions on the home front get even worse when Ari's father blows into town, full of questions, and Maggie is abruptly reassigned after determining that suicide was actually murder.
Everyone has questions, but many of the answers turn out to be lies. Nobody but Ari wonders if business greed, familial revenge, dirty cops and shady investments might all intersect--with deadly consequences.
Ann Roberts' (Paid in Full) Ari Adams mysteries feature intricate plots with realistic heroines determined to find the truth.
