Everyone thought they knew Marshall Perkins.
Some secrets are buried. Others are hiding in plain sight.
When respected community member Marshall Perkins is found murdered inside his own home, the police believe they're dealing with a straightforward homicide. But amateur sleuth Toni Accardi isn't convinced. The deeper she looks, the more she realizes that everyone connected to the Perkins family seems to be hiding something and every answer only leads to another question.
As Detective Maclean works the official investigation, Toni can't ignore the inconsistencies that keep surfacing. A missing phone. Conflicting stories. Long-forgotten relationships. Family tensions that run deeper than anyone is willing to admit. What first appeared to be a single act of violence soon reveals a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and secrets that have been carefully protected for years.
With the help of her trusted friends and despite repeated warnings to stay out of the investigation, Toni follows one clue after another, uncovering hidden connections that someone is desperate to keep buried. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes. Suddenly, solving the case isn't just about bringing a killer to justice. It's about staying alive long enough to expose them.
As every suspect's carefully crafted facade begins to crumble, Toni discovers that the truth has been hiding in plain sight all along. But recognizing it may come at a cost she never expected.
