Private Investigator Hadley Cooper has a knack for finding trouble-and this time, it's wearing pearls.
Life on Sullivan's Island is about as close to bliss as it gets-bike rides at sunrise, cases that don't make headlines, and a romance with SLED agent Cash Reynolds that's finally on solid ground. They have one ironclad rule: never work the same case.
When a wealthy Charleston socialite turns up dead, Cash charges her housekeeper, Bridget Donovan, with murder. But the young single mother has a formidable ally in Carolyn Talbot, a local matriarch who implores Hadley to help. Hadley's heart overrides her head, and her agreement with Cash is gone like confetti in a hurricane.
Soon she's wading through a tangle of suspects-blue bloods with deadly secrets, her client's scheming ex-monster-in-law, and the greatest unknown country singer in Nashville. But Hadley's also grappling with a mystery closer to home-one that will shake everything she thought she knew about her family.
To find justice for Bridget, Hadley will have to risk her heart, her life-and maybe her grip on reality.
