The USA TODAY bestselling author of the Ten Tiny Breaths and Burying Water series makes her suspense debut with this sexy, heartpounding story of a young woman determined to find justice after her best friend’s death, a story pulsing with the “intense, hot, emotional” (Colleen Hoover) writing that exhilarates her legions of fans.

A woman who almost had it all . . . On the surface, Celine Gonzalez had everything a twenty-eight-year-old woman could want: a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to the prestigious Hollingsworth Institute of Art, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser for a major auction house. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself? A man who was supposed to be her salvation . . . Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph in a lock box hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life. Until he became her ruin. On the hunt for evidence that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

K.A. Tucker has once again created a masterful tale of suspense, with an intensely thrilling plot, enigmatic characters, deceit, betrayal and loyalists

This man was once my salvation.

Now he will be my ruin.

A childhood friendship transcending time, luxury and riches, Celine Gonzalez and Maggie Sparks, grew into vibrant young women; each on their own life path. One born of riches and luxury; the other a Mexican immigrant. One working to aid humanity, the other trying to make ends meet, while caring for an ailing mother. Best of friends for one, while, under the surface - hated an envy so strong- for the other.

When Maggie Sparks flies across the world to handle the estate of her dead best friend, she never expected to encounter secrets so deep, and so painful, that would cause utter chaos. Believing the death of her friend was inflicted and not intentional. Maggie travels the road of Celine's life, in order to uncover the truth of her death. Intertwining herself with Celine's friends, neighbours and significant other's, Maggie discovers truths about Celine, that utterly baffle her. In the midst of playing private eye, there is a brief romantic interlude, between Maggie and a hunky suspect.

As the story roller coasters on-wards we get small POV's from Celine's life, even though the novel is told in Maggie's point of view. We see where Celine's secrets shatter her family, and pains her best friend, yet, Maggie remains loyal to Celine's friendship.

A mysterious death, strangers in the distance, secret diaries and Ming dynasty Chinese artifacts.

Well done Ms. Tucker. A book that needs to be read. A suspense that captures you from the beginning and turns you inside out with excitement.
