Bücher der Reihe A Kate Huntington Mystery

A story ripped from real-life headlines. A police detective is found in an alley, standing over the body of an unarmed African-American boy. Groggy from a concussion, he has no memory of what happened, and he is literally holding the smoking gun. To the Baltimore County Internal Affairs division, it's a slam-dunk. But various forces push psychotherapist Kate Huntington and her P.I. husband to investigate behind the scenes, and what they find doesn't add up. Why did the boy's oldest brother disappear on the same day? And did the third brother, who's on the autism spectrum and nonverbal, witness something relevant? When seemingly unrelated events emerge as a pattern of intentional obstruction and diversion, it becomes apparent that what happened in that alley was more than just a bad shoot by a stressed-out cop. And for Kate, the case has become personal as she's connected with the grieving mother, whose dead son was the same age as her Billy. The answers may come from unexpected sources, but she and Skip better find them soon… before another life is lost.

Family can save you...or destroy you. With accusations flying between her client and the client's parents, psychotherapist Kate Huntington is caught in the middle. And when the parents sue her for planting "false memories" in her client's head, she ends up a murder suspect. Plus, someone is sending her anonymous and vaguely threatening notes. There is one bright spot though; she's falling in love. Now if she can just get her dead husband's ghost out of her head. As the romance heats up, the note sender ups the anté, threatening to "destroy" Kate's family. Her closest friend, Rob, has misgivings about her too-handsome-to-be-trusted suitor. But now the two men must work together, to help the woman they both love find a killer…and protect her baby girl. (All books in this series are designed to be read and enjoyed as stand-alones as well.)
