Sheriff Joanna Brady faces mounting pressures. She's campaigning for reelection, expecting her third child, and watching her oldest prepare for college. Then a midnight call shatters her already fragmented world. Her mother and stepfather's RV has careened off the road at dangerous speed, slamming into an overpass pillar. The crash looks like an accident, but details don't add up. When journalist turned investigator Ali Reynolds contacts Joanna with an offer to help, Brady accepts. The two women must uncover who orchestrated the crash and why someone wanted to harm Brady's family. Their investigation leads them down unexpected paths, and the person behind the attack may not be the enemy they anticipated.
