Sinossi

The detectives of Britain’s Department Z look into a murder at an exclusive club. 
 
Sir Basil Riordon is mysterious, frightening, and immensely wealthy. But is he also a killer? As head of England’s elite secret service, Department Z, Gordon Craigie has to find out, but it won’t be an easy investigation with so many important people involved. 
 
A member of an exclusive London club has been poisoned, and Riordon or his son, Marcus, may be involved. Craigie assigns his best agent, Devenish, to find the truth. But what Devenish finds isn’t a clear-cut case of homicide, but a mad masquerade of murder, larceny, and deceit of the highest order. And he and Craigie may be in over their heads . . .

    "Do you remember Savannah?" 
     
     
     
    How could she forget? Two decades ago, Trinity Calhoun's best friend—eighteen-year-old Savannah Stuart—went missing. Just weeks later, Savannah's body was found brutally slain outside the mountain town. With no suspects or leads, the local authorities dismissed the murder as a tragic one-off, likely perpetrated by a tourist. But Trinity wasn't convinced. 
     
     
     
    Determined to do better for other victims, she left town and settled in Vancouver, rising through the ranks to become a detective. She's never looked back. But now, an unexpected phone call from her former lover has her barreling down the highway to face the past. 
     
     
     
    Another young woman has disappeared under eerily similar circumstances. Allegedly. But the local police are disinterested. Trinity's ex has a tenuous—at best—hold on his mental and physical health. And Savannah's secretive and handsome brother is in town, asking an awful lot of questions. 
     
     
     
    Trinity's focus is clouded. Maybe her judgment, too. As she wades through her past, she needs to answer a potentially life-threatening question: is there a dangerous, repeat criminal on the loose, or is she just desperate for closure? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
