Deadly Deception

In this "superb investigative thriller," forensic psychologist Jemimah Hodge is caught in a decade-old mystery someone is willing to kill to keep unsolved (Mystery Gazette).

Returning to Santa Fe after months of special training, Jemimah Hodge is greeted with a cold case from almost ten years earlier. The matter is especially sensitive because it concerns the death of a policeman's wife in a car accident, and Santa Fe's finest have not been cooperative.

Detective Rick Romero has waited patiently for Jemimah's return. And while Jemimah would like to return his affection for her, she is held back by the emotional scars of her conservative Mormon upbringing. But despite their tense personal relationship, they must find a way to work together—especially after someone makes separate attempts on their lives.

With time growing short, Jemimah and Romero must uncover a shocking cover-up and bring justice to a long-dead victim before the people behind the conspiracy bury them along with the past.
