Prime Suspect: New Orleans Detectives, #2

By Melanie Atkins

New Orleans Assistant District Attorney Marisa Cooper prosecutes murderers for a living, but the tables are turned when her ex-husband Peter Assimov is found dead in her garage. She didn't kill him... or did she? All of the evidence points to her. And to top it off, the lead detective on the case is the man she left at the altar before she married Peter.

NOPD Homicide Detective Slade Montgomery is stoic when another cop finds in her home the gun that killed Marisa's ex. She broke Slade's heart when she didn't show up for their wedding, but he never would have pegged her as a killer. The evidence against her is overwhelming, and he has no choice but to arrest her. Then someone tries to kill her.... and several other members of the Assimov family. Is she really guilty, or is someone framing her for Peter's death?

Marisa and Slade are forced to trust each other as they search for the person responsible for the vendetta. Will they -- and their hearts -- survive the close proximity? Or will they destroy each other once again?
