When cops turn on each other, who can you trust? Florida homicide detective Maggie Novak should be celebrating: it's the start of a new year, and her boyfriend has just proposed. But all she can think about is the alarming news she received earlier that evening-her teammate Detective Clayton Young is missing. With few leads, Maggie heads to the supermarket where Clay was last seen. To her horror, security footage reveals a devastating scene in the parking lot: her colleague has died in fearful circumstances. As the investigation begins, Homicide Squad is rocked by the news that Clay might not be the only intended target, and that any one of them could be next on the killer's agenda. Clay's partner, Detective Andy Stucker, is refusing to answer calls, and Maggie suspects he has a part to play in their colleague's death. Scanning through Clay's phone, she finds a message to Stucker with the words "they know." Who are "they"? And what do they know? As more secrets come to light, Maggie has good reason to believe the killer is just getting started. She needs to uncover the truth fast. But is it already right in front of her eyes? Also available in the Maggie Novak Thriller series: DON'T EVEN BREATHE THE OTHER CHILD HER ONLY REGRET

About the Author
Keith Houghton admits he spent too much of his childhood reading science fiction books, mostly by flashlight under the bedcovers, dreaming of becoming a novelist. When he was thirteen, his English teacher-fed up with reading his space stories-told him he would never make it as a science fiction writer. Undeterred, Houghton went on to pen several sci-fi novels and three comedy stage plays while raising a family and holding down a more conventional job. But it wasn't until he started writing mystery thrillers that his dream finally became reality. Though his head is still full of those space stories, these days he keeps his feet planted firmly on the ground, writing crime and spending quality time with his four grandchildren. Houghton is the bestselling author of the three Gabe Quinn thrillers-Killing Hope, Crossing Lines, and Taking Liberty-as well as the stand-alone psychological thrillers No Coming Back, Before You Leap, and Crash.
