But he has to step in when he comes across drunk and disoriented Merodie Davies, the weeks-old corpse of her boyfriend, Eli…and a newbie cop trying to beat a murder confession out of her.

Until he learns Eli is one of many men connected with Merodie who've died suspiciously. And that more than one Twin Cities power broker will do anything to lethally spin this case their way. Squeezed between a ruthless county attorney, a shadowy billionaire and an elegant heiress, McKenzie has no problem raising the stakes and rattling skeletons.
