Not even her loyal LAPD colleagues can protect her from an attack that may come from anywhere, anytime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFour years retired, Kate Delafield has a twenty-year-old case roaring back on her, a case from which she had recoiled, withdrawn herself. A homophobic homicide far too reminiscent of a recent, haunting, life-changing investigation of the murder of a young lesbian at the Nightwood Bar. Now she suffers in secret, knowing she is personally culpable for the mishandling of evidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe has also begun to understand how the roads she has traveled have led her to this day. The key decisions about the conduct of her life and her police career that have brought her directly to this time, this place in the high desert where she has taken herself. All she can do now, she resolves, is protect as best she can the people she loves most, especially Aimee, from this threat. And, until her time runs out, she can go back and investigate, determine who actually ended the life of fifteen-year-old April Shuster. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut events, people, intervene. New people in her present life, some from her past. And they will take her in the most unexpected of directions.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766782427424,"sku":"9781935226895","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ffae76e17d4ce2f9a8304868c23d4c3f.webp?v=1780298869","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/delafield-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
