Description
Suspense novelist and exhausted mom Finlay Donovan is trying to keep three resolutions: no junk food, no men, and no more bodies in her minivan. But when Russian mob boss Feliks demands she identify a rogue contract killer known as EasyClean—and a New Jersey loan shark starts circling her best friend and nanny, Vero—Finlay has to improvise fast. With her kids tucked away with their dad (for now), she and Vero land in a citizen police academy run by Finlay’s too-charming detective crush, Nick. The plan? Blend in, listen closely, and figure out which cop might be a killer.
That plan lasts about five minutes. A late-night crime scene exercise turns into a genuine scare, an ill-advised salvage yard meetup goes sideways, and a familiar bodyguard attorney flips the pressure cooker to high. Cops, crooks, and podcasters swirl around Finlay while old secrets, new loyalties, and a mountain of car parts point to a truth nobody wants to see. As the fire literally rises, so does Finlay’s courage. She’ll risk the book deal, the romance, and the fragile truce with her ex to save the people she loves—and outmaneuver a killer who’s always one step ahead.
