Sinossi

A murder in upstate NY leads a young woman to search for answers among one of the region’s most powerful families in this romantic thriller. 
 
Sally Montgomery’s romantic getaway in the Hudson Valley is brutally cut short when her companion, Frederick Pierson, is murdered. Now Sally is on the run from the police—and the killer. In desperation, she turns to her ex-husband, a former NYPD detective, and their daughter Devon, a veterinarian who inherited her father’s investigative instincts.  
 
Devon’s search for the truth leads her straight to Blake Pierson, the handsome, enigmatic heir apparent to the powerful Pierson clan. But with his family’s empire threatened, whose side is Blake on? Racing the clock, Devon must prove her mother’s innocence and outmaneuver the killer before her tactics put her in the wrong place—with no time left to lose . . .

    It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. 
    In only a few months, the small town of Hagen has lost two high school seniors, both under strange circumstances. When a third senior, the mayor’s son, drives through the plate glass window of the town’s diner and ends up in a coma, the deaths no longer seem unrelated accidents. The town is paralyzed with fear. The police can find no good explanation. Other students deny any knowledge of what’s happening, but Detective Kylie Milliard is certain at least some are lying. 
    Hagen’s sole investigator, Kylie Milliard fears that something sinister is at play, but she can’t convince the town’s powers that be to take her concerns seriously. Mounting discord between herself and Hagen’s sheriff have her thinking that it may be time to leave Hagen for a bigger city and a new job, but she’s not going anywhere until she determines the connection between the self-destructive act of the mayor’s son and the two untimely deaths. 
    Whoever is behind the dangerous stunts doesn’t want to be discovered. To keep their secret, they’re willing to take out anyone who gets too close. With time running out before the next stunt, Kylie is in a race to solve the puzzle. She is all too clear that, until she does, no one—not the students, nor the town—is safe from danger. 
    “Danielle Girard is a phenomenal writer. In Up Close, her insightful and compulsively readable new novel, she creates a vivid portrait of a tight-knit small town grappling with a series of teenage deaths. Accidents or murder? Girard keeps you guessing until the final, breathtaking twist.” 
    —Jillian Medoff, author of When We Were Bright and Beautiful

    You never forget your first corpse. For former child star Jarrod Jarvis, that discovery was twenty-plus years ago, and a lot has happened since he solved a string of real-life Hollywood murders. Now Jarrod lives in Palm Springs where he writes and directs local theatre, while quietly grieving the loss of his partner, police detective Charlie. 
     
     
     
    Jarrod hasn't disclosed much about his sleuthing past to his daughter, Liv, who just earned a degree in criminal justice. There's been distance between them since Charlie's death, and Jarrod's unsure how to bridge the gap. Liv, meanwhile, has put her career on hold in order to help her filmmaker boyfriend, Zel. His new documentary idea is to track down the surrogate who gave birth to Liv. Skeptical and annoyed by Zel, Liv goes to confront him at his apartment. But there's no need to break things off—because someone has bludgeoned Zel to death. 
     
     
     
    Jarrod rushes to Liv's aid, surprising his daughter with his ease around a crime scene. Another shock is quite how many people had motive to finish Zel off—including a Russian film professor, a former First Lady, and a sexy Secret Service agent. Together, Liv and Jarrod comb for clues, growing close again. But while there's nothing like murder to bring a family together, this father-daughter reunion may be short-lived as long as a killer is on the loose.
