Toss in Ronnie, Alex’s maddeningly charming ex-boyfriend with a murky agenda and a habit of showing up when bullets fly, and Alex finds herself in a tangled mess of secrets, betrayal, and criminal ambition. 
Was Ronnie trying to take over the Giodorno operation? Did he put Paul up to murder? Or is there an even bigger play behind the curtain? 
Armed with a sharp mind and a dry wit, Alex dives into a dangerous game of cat and mouse to expose the imposter before she becomes the next target. 
The Imposter blends high-stakes crime with snarky charm in a mystery where everyone’s got secrets—and nobody’s who they claim to be. Clean, hard-boiled, short cozy mystery.
